Just Good Dogs: The illustrated guide I needed when I got a dog

In Just Good Dogs, James Middleton offers a more responsive, considered way of living with dogs – one rooted in trust, curiosity, and everyday companionship. Blending practical advice with emotional intelligence, this book isn’t about quick fixes or perfect obedience. It’s about learning to communicate clearly, care wisely, and grow together. Inside, you’ll find: * Tools for consistent, intuitive communication * A fresh approach to recall, lead work, and building real confidence * Seasonal wellbeing tips – from spring daffodils to winter salt * Practical health guidance and real-world first aid * Insights on food, behaviour, ageing, grief, and change Whether you’re starting fresh or walking alongside an old friend, this book offers a flexible, humane approach that respects the individuality of every dog – and the people who love them. With original illustrations by Fiona Dunphy, this is a definitive companion for the trickier moments, a reminder on the lighter ones, and something to pass on when someone new brings a dog home.
