An expert on canine behaviour has had her first book published offering advice on how to avoid doggy disasters.
Jo Wood, 47, of Brandesburton penned the guide - Doggy Dilemmas, over the course of three-years and has recently published her work.
Since 2000 Jo has worked with troublesome pooches, and cites a personal experience with a previous pet as the inspiration behind learning how to manage dogs.
After completing several training courses including one with the Centre of Applied Pet Ethology, Jo began work and has now helped to treat over 1,500 dogs.
She said: “It is about teaching the people the way the dog is thinking. They can understand why it does what it does and to make its behaviour more acceptable
“I have always loved dogs and I think I like the fact that they love you unconditionally and do not care if you are not wearing make-up or your best dress.
“I have always wanted to write a book but I never really new what to write about, and this pretty much wrote itself.”
Jo’s Book is available to buy or download from Amazon, or from Jo herself. For more information call 07980 505563.
