Beverley Courtney, author of the Brilliant Family Dog book series "Essential Skills for a Brilliant Family Dog" and "Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog" is the owner of Good for Dogs! in rural Worcestershire, where she works with new puppies and rescue dogs, always looking to intensify the bond between dog and owner. As a Certified BAT Instructor, she works extensively with “Growly Dogs”, building their confidence and restoring calm to their harassed owners’ lives!

Living with three or four dogs at a time - not to mention hens, cats, sheep, goats, donkey, and children, over the years - gives her an insight into having a calm and stress-free multi-dog household.

Beverley’s practical and popular solutions to everyday dog behaviour problems can be found at www.brilliantfamilydog.com with a step-by-step guide to changing the things you don’t like about your dog to the things you do like.
