Reader Reviews
Nicole sent me a copy to review months ago and I've owed this review for a number of weeks. I have two fearful dogs and I love this book! Nicole breaks down what a fearful dog is versus an aggressive dog. We learn how to break down our dogs fears into recognisable signs and levels so that we can keep track of our dog's progress. She shows us the kind of charts that she used for her dog as well as client dogs. Anyone who has read any of my other reviews knows that I love pictures and this book as plenty of them! The book is broken up into three sections. There's learning up front on what to look for, some on nutrition and exercise. Then we learn about skills that we need to train our dog to have to be successful in carrying out the last section of the book - the various guides to dealing with specific fears. As someone mentioned, Nicole also goes over medications - prescribed and alternative that you can use with your dog. We enjoyed Nicole's visit discussing this book at CSDogBookReview in December 2006.
