Ain’t Misbehavin’

Ain’t Misbehavin’:
a good behaviour guide for family dogs

Owning a dog can be hugely satisfying, and the more we can understand our pets the more satisfying our relationship can become. The dog’s world is a fascinating place and this book, aptly entitled Aint Misbehavin’, helps us to take a glimpse inside it. So often a dog’s behaviour is described as being ‘naughty’ when in fact it may only be displaying its natural behaviour, but perhaps displayed in inappropriate circumstances. By understanding why dogs do what they do, we can often modify that behaviour to make them more suited to our social needs.

Using kind methods of training combined with a good understanding of what makes our dogs tick, David Appleby takes the reader on a journey into the dog’s psyche, advising on how to gently train a puppy from its earliest days, how to achieve 'good behaviour' and how to handle a wide range of behaviour problems.
