Feisty Fido Rocks!, July 3, 2003
Reviewer: Elaine Allison/Canine's Best Behavior
Feisty Fido is an jam packed booklet, filled with practical, humane solutions for the owner of a reactive on a leash dog. I especially appreciate the section regarding what to do when there's an off leash
 
Helpful, Practical Advice, August 2, 2006
Reviewer: Lori in Austin
I found this book very helpful in developing techniques to manage my reactive dog. It contains concrete, practical, doable training advice that I found easy to implement. Of particular use was teaching my dog the 'autowatch' and the 'emergency u-turn.' This book contains information that the average pet owner can put to use, and in doing so, alleviate some of the stress associated with taking your reactive dog out and about.
 
Stress Less..., October 4, 2006
Reviewer: Jacqueline - Dog Logics
If you have a snappy, fear aggressive or in fact any aggressive dog to deal with this is the book for your bookshelf. Easy reading, clear cut information and down to earth training tactics for rehabilitating the wayward pooch. Take the stress off both dog and handler read the book follow the outline - IT WORKS! I recommend this book to all the clients I deal with who have aggression problems with their dog. It allows the owner time to sit down and digest all the information given in a consultation and have back up from the book. Great value.Patricia McConnell and Karen London have cleared the way for dog owners and trainers alike.
