I did not set out to have a career working with dogs, nor did I aspire to working with animals of any sort. I left school fully intending to enjoy a life as a beach bum, painting and being creative , however, living on the west coast of Wales I quickly discovered that to be a successful beach bum required a large budget for waterproofs and fleecy jackets. it was clear that I was going to have find something else to do with my life. It was at that point I attempted to join the rest of the world and learn things, to become a productive member of society, and so I went dutifully to art college, only to find that this was not going to be the path to enlightenment I was seeking. Six months of painting random still lives and the odd bit of finger painting and it was clear another path would be required.

The Reluctant Dog Trainer is a simple guide to the world of dog training and dog ownership. Covering aspects from how dogs learn, through to the trials and tribulations of walking a dog in the modern world, it is less a ‘How to’ book, and more a guide to the diffrenet areas involved in living with a happy, healthy dog.

Written by a trainer of 25 years, examples of dogs he has lived with, help to illustrate how it is not always straight forward living with our canine companions.
