About this listen

Number one Amazon best seller

“This is the book that needed to be written.” (Jo Robbens, volunteer with Balkan Underdogs)

Are you struggling to walk your dog or puppy? Do you feel stressed or overwhelmed with your dog right now? Is your puppy struggling with walks? Do you have a scared, nervous, or reactive dog? Does your dog get overexcited when you go for a walk? Have you got a dog that can’t go for a walk due to surgery or illness or old age?

It might come as a surprise, but traditional "walks" are a human invention and aren't helpful for many of our dogs. Whether you want to help your own dog or you work with dogs, this book will help you:

  • Understand why your dog reacts in the way that they do.
  • Learn how to train your dog or puppy at home to grow the skills they need in life, whatever their age, breed, or background.
  • Find out why you shouldn't feel pressured to take your pup for a walk.
  • Learn loads of games to play at home just for fun (get access to bonus videos), and what you can do for a calm and happy dog.
  • Learn really practical, fun, and easy ways to train your dog and help them (and you!) live calmer and happier lives.

As an owner of a fearful spaniel I found this book very helpful. Before listening to this audiobook I was ready to throw in the towel with trying to train my 18month springer. This book has given me the confidence to keep going . The audio is so good i’d definitely recommend . I have ordered the hard copy book so I can refer to sections easier relating to the issues I have with my dog.

Thank you , this is a fabulous book

A great book to get to know and understand our canine companions better and help them (and us!) when they have a difficult time. Having an reactive dog myself this book has helped me a great deal, it is full of practical tips and has been te gateway to an amazing community with like minded people for me.

A most have for every dog owner

We rescued a Romanian dog in November and was unable to walk him, this book gave us the confidence to advocate that walks weren’t the answer for him and the games gave us a fun, enriching way to build our bond. Thank you ❤️

Can’t tell you how much this helped us!

Oh my gosh, I wasn’t far into this book before I’d cried, laughed, and empathised. Thank you, Niki for writing it. I feel like you put my life with my own dog into words, and your tone of voice is so calm and soothing. I finished it in one day. It was wonderful and made me very emotional at times. 💕

This book captured my own life and experiences.

Some of the best and sane advices I heard after a lot of experts in dog training that i have studied. This is real dog psychology and attention to your relationship with your dog. Big thank you! I will be reading a few of the chapters again soon. And I am really excited to be starting the games on a schedule as this book recommended.

Didn't like the format. Probably not a good audio book. Too many references to online material. Not for me
