In the first half Graeme covers many of the common issues us dog owners witness, either in our own pooches or those we meet on our walks.

In Eglish we assosiate Happiness with Excitement all the time which is why the wagging tail is associated with happy dog. He learned some of his skills from an eight-year-old autistic girl who seemed to have a telepathic link to her labrador.Eighties singer sends fans (and famous pals Michelle Pfeiffer and Julianne Moore) WILD as she shows off her looks at 65 - but do YOU know who it is? Lots of useful tips, good advice and information especially for us hapless owners see things from a dog’s perspective. Highly recommended we're busy tweaking our behaviour, yes Graeme is the Dogfather because he understands people as well as dogs!

Graeme perfectly translates his excellent communication skills into this book and complex behaviour is made as simple as possible for the reader to understand. But wouldn’t it be so much easier if we spoke the same language and could ask what they were thinking or feeling?It tells stories from Graeme's career and some of the encounters he has had with dogs and their owners, but also offers some advice and wisdom on how to get the best behaviour and response from your dog. A stand out example or story was that of different language interpreting what a happy dog is ,different to that of how a British or English speaking person would interpret a happy dog to be. Having worked with more than 5,000 dogs, Graeme Hall has a unique understanding of the early developmental period. Many people in the dog training world are ‘dog people’ and harshly blame behavioural issues on incompetent owners.
