Expanded Description:
When Emma Parsons, canine trainer and behavior consultant, discovered that her own prized golden retriever was aggressive toward other dogs and that traditional remedies took his reactivity to nightmarish levels, she turned to clicker training. In the process, Emma developed innovative and highly effective strategies to calm, alter, and re-shape her dog's aggressive displays. Her work has since helped many clients successfully reduce and even erase their dogs' reactivity.
More than 40 exercises in an easy-to-follow training recipe format, teaching how to:
*Desensitize your dog to approaching stranger dogs
*Allow you to grab your dog's collar without him snapping
*Have your dog perform canine calming signals, instead of aggressive displays, on cue
*Have your dog turn and give you eye contact whenever another dog approaches, or you tighten on the leash
*Use your own body language when under stress as a cue for your dog to remain calm
...and many more creative and effective uses of managing behavior through clicker training!

| GREAT BOOK, March 21, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Veronica |
| I have used these methods to rehabilitate rescue dogs. Especially bully breeds. Wonderful way to help a highly reactive, fearful or shy dog gain confidence. GREAT BOOK |

| I agree, it is outstanding, April 19, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Rosana Hart, training-dogs.com |
I share the others' opinions that this is an outstanding book. I taught my mildly aggressive dog to make eye contact with me, and found that a useful tool. Am currently doing a variety of the exercises and was glad to discover there is a Yahoo group devoted to this book.
It's very heartfelt. |

| What happened to my dog???, March 29, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Alicia K |
| This books changed my girls life!! She is a 3 year old Malamute/Pitbull and was very growly and reactive towards other dogs. She expected to sniff them, but don't they dare sniff her! It was okay if she wanted to say hi, but when she was done, they had better leave her alone! She figured she had something every other dog didn't, and she did.... a bad attitude! It was unacceptable. It started more then a few fights and was getting embarrassing. I bought this book and it has become my bible! She is different dog now. She can now tolerate greetings then I call her away and re-focus her. She has never been one that liked to play with and greet every dog she saw, she is very selective, but at least she will now tolerate those rude and rambunctious ones we come across and the fights have vanished. 5 paws up!!! |
