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.

| wonderfully helpful, June 6, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Shanna Jones |
| This book has many insightful tips that have helped me with my reactive dog. Ali Brown's method of writing really enabled me to break down my dog's behavior into manageable sessions when I thought I might just be in over my head. It is a very empowering experience to get a handle on an overwhelming situation and start making noticable headway towards a well-behaved, balanced dog. This book touches on the majority of situations that I was having trouble with and is a good starting point for gaining understanding and control. |

| I found this book very informative and helpful in our journey to rehabilitating our rescue bulldog who is reactive and was having fearful aggression issues. There IS hope! Six months ago I didn't think we would be able to have my family over for the holidays and on CHristmas he greeted everyone happily with NO issues even when my brother-in-law (or who used to cause reactions) got very animated. |

| Excellent !, March 31, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Mary Berr |
| I have both of Ail's books and the DVD. They are all excellent, well written and easy to understand. Ali is so down to earth in her explanations of behavior and learning. All are presented in a very clear manner without making the reader feel hopeless.I highly recommend all of Ali's work! I think that more speakers should contact Ali about who did the video work for her DVD as it is extremely well done. I felt like I was in the seminar. Buy all three of Ali's works and hope that she continues producing more for those of us who have challenging dogs in our lives. Ali is a gem! |
