Hello Reader; Beverley Courtney has made a new post at Brilliant Family Dog: Have you got a reactive, anxious, Growly, Dog? April 9, 2025 🐾 Are you one of those people who creeps about in the dark walking your dog, for fear of meeting … anybody? 🐾 Are you fed up with the snooty looks and snide remarks about “that vicious dog”? 🐾 Are you frustrated by finding only ‘trainers’ who want you to do nasty things to your dog, rather than loving them - as you do? If so, I want to draw your attention...

Hello Reader; Beverley Courtney has made a new post at Brilliant Family Dog: Holidays with dogs! ⛺️🦮 March 26, 2025 I’ve just returned from a wonderful holiday with my three dogs! And if you’ve ever thought it couldn’t be done - think again! I know you can get pet passports and travel all over the place with your dog, but I’m a stick-in-the-English-mud and would rather spend my holiday in the sort of place I like best - the countryside … Read More...

Hello Reader; Beverley Courtney has made a new post at Brilliant Family Dog: Dog play is the best medicine March 2, 2025 We all know about the marvels of Assistance Dogs (and other domestic animals) in helping people with physical or mental problems to dramatically improve their lives. Whether they’re wheelchair-bound, suffering from PTSD, epilepsy, deafness, autism - they all get solid improvements. But you don’t have to “need” an Assistance Dog to benefit enormously! Read More...

Hello Reader; Beverley Courtney has made a new post at Brilliant Family Dog: Am I clear to my dog? February 12, 2024 An old man is teaching his grandson about life. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy. “It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope,...

Hello Reader; Beverley Courtney has made a new post at Brilliant Family Dog: Dog Feeding Schedules - how important are they? January 28, 2025 I’ve had a couple of people recently looking for help with their puppy because it was screaming all night. On enquiry, I’ve found that the (so-called) breeder - “Greeder”, I’d say - told them to feed 2 meals a day. Two meals a day, for an 8-week-old small breed puppy! Totally ridiculous - in fact, cruel. Can you imagine feeding a new baby twice a day...

Hello Reader; Beverley Courtney has made a new post at Brilliant Family Dog: Are you rewarding your dog or bribing him? January 14, 2024 Do you know the exact difference between bribery and rewarding? Lots of people don’t! And if you’re new to Brilliant Family Dog, it may be an area that puzzles you. So I thought that if you already understand this concept, I’d equip you with the science behind it all, so you can respond appropriately to know-it-all put-downs. And if you don’t understand it,...

Hello Reader; Beverley Courtney has made a new post at Brilliant Family Dog: What food can I give my dog? December 11, 2024 I’m back beating the drum again! FOOD! DOG FOOD! We know that so much of the food that is pushed on us by giant manufacturing concerns is undermining human health. The British Government is now clamping down on what may be advertised on tv at times when children will be watching. So no more burgers, chips, battered food, skeatos, meatos, freakos, chocolate, ice cream,...
