“The inspiring story of the hundreds of assistance dogs Jennifer has now trained, and the science behind her remarkable methods.”
‘Dogs Today’
Through A Dog’s Eyes
Understanding Our Dogs By Understanding How They See The World
Jennifer Arnold
A heartwarming read that will forever change the way you see your dog by showing you the way that your dog sees the world.
Jennifer Arnold has trained service dogs for people with physical disabilities and special needs for over twenty years. In that time, she has developed a unique understanding of dogs’ untapped potential. By understanding their capabilities, intelligence and extrasensory skills she has taught dogs to make choices, instead of following commands, and her results have been extraordinary.
Through A Dog’s Eyes reveals the science behind Jennifer Arnold’s remarkable training methods. Based on the belief that dogs are naturally trusting beings attuned to their owners’ needs who aim to please, Jennifer Arnold calls for an end to traditional dog-training strategies based on the theory of alpha dominance that is being increasingly challenged by modern science.
“An accessible, well-presented personal treatise on dog behaviour and training.”
‘Veterinary Record’
Based on kindness and encouragement Jennifer Arnold shows how you can teach dogs to make choices rather than simply follow commands.
“In Through A Dog’s Eyes, she relates many of the insights she has gained over the course of her experiences and the scientific basis behind them.”

The Joy of Allotments
An illustrated diary of plot 19
Caroline Deput
Caroline Deput took on an allotment nearly fifteen years ago, clearing the weeds and years of buried rubbish, digging a wildlife pond and building a greenhouse to make Plot 19 the perfect place to grow vegetables (and somewhere to escape to). Yet, there is always something to do.
Follow the year on Plot 19 through Caroline’s illustrated diary of colour drawings and share her eternal optimism (often misplaced) as she keeps her allotment sufficiently weeded, watered and hoed to grow vegetables with the alluring names of Lady Balfour, Bull’s Blood and Hurst Green Shaft. From spring as she plants with high hopes to summers spent harvesting her first crop then the autumn chores of sowing for the early Spring harvest.
On Caroline’s allotment time is adjusted to the different rhythms of the seasons and absorption in the tasks that need to be done. It is the perfect place to go to escape the worries of daily life. Discover the delights and frustrations of allotment life.
The Joy of Allotments is a wittily realistic and moving account of the good life, providing hours of vicarious pleasure for armchair gardeners and shared groans of recognition for fellow allotment-holders.
