About this listen

Dog behaviourist Nigel Reed reveals the secrets to a happy, well-behaved dog in his revolutionary new book, The Dog Guardian.

Struggling to solve your dog's behavioural problems? Looking to achieve the perfect relationship with your dog? The Dog Guardian is here to help. Dog behaviourist Nigel Reed teaches emotional intelligence for dog owners, leading to confident, happy and well-behaved dogs. Through his many years of experience, Nigel has found that there are four fundamental components for a content and well-behaved dog.

In The Dog Guardian, Nigel explains the philosophy and gives you practical, step-by-step advice. This new and vital information will empower you to address any of your dog's undesirable behaviours, no matter its age, breed or history.

The Dog Guardian has already helped thousands of dogs and their owners address problem behaviours including anxiety, nervousness, aggression, hyperactivity, lead pulling, jumping up and much more. It's easier than you'd think.

amazing!

Eye-opening. It's not that I'm observing anything new, it's stuff I've seen every day in my long lifetime with dogs, yet I simply didn't realise what it all meant. Transformed my relationship with my dog and also, amazingly, explained the behaviour of my husband and kids(!)

Should be taught in schools

If only i had read this sooner. Clear and precise instructions. I now have a better understanding of my beautiful English Pointer.. Thank you so much Nigel

This is the best most informative dog book ever.

Nigel's way just works. We've consulted many dog behaviourists and never got better, clearer advice than from Nigel. The book is excellent, concise, clear and to the point. Easy to listen to and even easier to implement, and it works. Within hours of implementing the learnings our dog started to get it (or was it us who got it?), and months later he/we still do!
Thank you so much, your teachings have made our interaction with our Whippet's so much more pleasant : )

It works! Best advice on how to guide your dog
