How to have fun AND be a fantastic dog owner! Mat Ward is a leading behaviourist and he really can understand what our dogs are thinking. His advice comes with funny but accurate pictures explaining everything you need to know – including what different woofs might mean, how to read a dog's ears and why they wag their tails (it's not always what you think). Our pets may seem straightforward but learning some key training basics and thinking about little details (like what kind of collar to put on them) can make all the difference. Understanding and respect mean your dog lives a contented life – and if the dog feels happy, then so will you!
