Expanded Description:
When dogs growl at other dogs, lunge at people and bark at everything it's often mislabeled as “aggression.” But behavior that looks like aggression is often fear-based and should be treated as such. The appropriate term for this constellation of behaviors is “reactivity.”
This book helps dog owners and trainers to understand the reactive dog and help him change for the better. The process is easy to grasp, and once the changes begin to take shape, owners become so encouraged that improving their dog's behavior suddenly becomes fun and exciting! If your dog can't pay attention to you in public places, doesn't behave like a good member of the family when guests visit, and looses control when other dogs are nearby, this book has a lot to offer.
All training methods and classroom techniques are non-force and based on developing a ‘working relationship’ with your dog. Easy to read and understand, 148 pages, with 68 photographs and graphics to help you improve behavior and solve problems.
This 2009 edition includes more specific examples, and more and better photos to give you a better idea of what to look for and how to handle your reactive dog.
You will learn:
• Easy to read and implement how-to book on fearful and reactive dogs
• Many pictures to illustrate key points
• Originally published in 2004, and revised and expanded in 2009
• How to develop a simple program addressing the stimuli which cause fear
Scaredy Dog addresses a very common issue in pet dogs today. Ali’s user friendly book is chock full of effective ways to work with a reactive dog.

| Reviewer: Alicia |
This book has helped me retrain my reactive dog Tuffy and I think it is incredible. I use this book as a workbook and refer to it often. I have taken the tools learned and use them in training other reactive dogs I work with. This book is wonderful!!
Ali has captured the emotions of those of us who have reactive dogs. The dispair, hope and the joy as the retraining process proceeds. Buy it, read it, use it!!! |
