BOOKS

Graeme Sims and Valentina Teghillo have written various books about dogs and dog training.

They are not manuals for dog training, because the dog is not a machine that you learn how to use but a living being, with whom you learn to communicate and live together.

If your dog is a puppy, an adult, a mongrel or a pure breed, a rescue or an elder one,
these books can help you to be closer to your dog in a new and enlightening way.

Some have been published in the U.K. and many others in Italy.

They are available in many book shops and online.

If you have already read some of them and you wish to go further, we are here for you.

The dog whisperer

"Give a Dog a Home: How to Make Your Rescue Dog a Happy Dog" by Graeme Sims is a series of case studies that show how, with understanding and patience, we can reach the nervous, the difficult or the disturbed rescue dog, and help them finally to feel that they have a real home. This book gives you a chance to look at life from the dog's point of view and to understand thoroughly what you see; it is for anyone who wants to earn the right to be their dog's best friend.

Give a dog a home

In this book Valentina Teghillo, dog trainer and for the first time also author, tells us about her personal experience with an animal species so different but also so complementary to ours. For her, the dog has been and still is a path of continuous growth and discovery, in which an initial fear has turned into deep love.Through real anecdotes lived in Italy and Wales, Valentina tells us about her dogs, about herself, about her mistakes made, the difficulties encountered, the Sheepdog, her dreams and the results achieved.The main goal, in fact, is to make the human understand that perfection does not exist, just as there is no instruction manual on the dog. In a normal coexistence between these two living beings there are always ups and downs, as is normal. If, however, we have love and are ready to acquire knowledge then the dog will know that he has a valid ally at his side as well as a friend he can count on.

Conosci il cane scopri te stesso

Training a dog does not mean imposing the Tablets of the Law on him but establishing a Pact of friendship with him, says Graeme Sims. Over the course of many years, he has created a truly revolutionary method and tells us about it through autobiographical episodes, sometimes touching, sometimes explanatory and real step by step instructions. A book that fascinates and helps you to understand how to choose the breed that best suits your needs, how and when to use the different commands, how to establish a relationship of trust with the dog or how to deal with and solve problematic situations, for example with a difficult, nervous, aggressive or adopted dog.

L'uomo che sussurra ai cani

The joy of owning a dog can easily be frustrated by behavioral problems. Problems that to the many owners of foundlings or rescued dogs seem insurmountable. This book lets us enter directly inside the dog's head, to make people understand how it thinks and why it behaves in a certain way. Understanding, on the other hand, is the secret to having a happy dog that makes you happy. This book, through the tender and moving stories of Graeme's 14 dogs and the many others he met on his long journey, reverses the perspective and teaches us to see things from the animal's point of view and to adapt our behavior to the problem in order to solve it easily.
