Your Dog: A Practical Australian Guide to Behaviour and Training – Elizabeth Charles, with Jim Fraser

Elizabeth Charles has written many on pet care for many years. Her articles in Woman’s Day have made her a familiar name to millions of pet lovers. She is also widely remembered – as Kate Newby – for her long running column ‘Pet Vet’ in the Sydney Sun, and her talk-back programme on Radio 2GB. To innumerable animal lovers, however, she is simply known and appreciated as Pamela Tinslay, their vet.

In Your Dog Elizabeth Charles joins forces with dog trainer Jim Fraser to produce a book that answers all you questions with a wealth of sound information about the behaviour, care and training of dogs of all breeds. Your Dog combines expert knowledge with practical know-how and an enormous understanding of the animal’s world.

Behavioural counselling, to ensure that pups become suitable members of their human families, has always played a large part in Elizabeth Charles’s veterinary practice. Jim Fraser has trained many of Elizabeth’s puppy patients and unscrambled the behavioural problems of those dogs who came to her too late. The authors describe how easily people can end up with a canine delinquent on their hands unless they learn at the start how to handle their pet!

Written with simplicity and a warm sense of humour, this unique guide includes lively personal anecdotes about dogs and their owners, and detailed information on all breeds of dogs in Australia. Fully illustrated throughout, Your Dog is an invaluable and enjoyable reference work for all dog owners and prospective dog owners.
