| Awesome, March 7, 2012 |
| Reviewer: Robin Sockness |
| I can't say enough good things about this book. I keep a stash of them to give to my clients when we work with fearful dogs. This book totally makes sense. |

| Reviewer: Carly Stevens |
| This book was a waste of a purchase. If you've already looked into stopping separation anxiety - if you've found Dogwise, you probably have - there's nothing new in this book. Spending a couple of minutes on google, asking someone who has dealt with anxiety before, and/or using some common sense will provide you with the same information as this booklet. |

| I love these booklets!, October 1, 2009 |
| Reviewer: David B |
I have read most, if not all of Patricia McConnell's booklets. These are must-have books for anyone exposed to shelter, or rescue group dogs. Yet, these books are simple enough, that even the serious, reqular pet owner can get benefit from as well.
As this review is written this little 30 page booklet sells for just seven bucks. People pay more for a cup of coffie that is gone forever in ten minutes. If you have a Cautious Canine, I recommend the Feisty Fido booklet as a companion. Then again, I think anyone, with any interest at all in dog behavior should buy eveything Patricia ever wrote. I almost have...
About the only people that should NOT get this book are what I call casual dog owners. But, I don't think too many 'casual dog owners' are hanging out on Dogwise reading behavior book reviews either! |
