Expanded Description:
This second edition of a McConnell/London classic is better than ever! Updated and revised to be even more user-friendly than before, Feisty Fido is designed for anyone (novice or professional) who works with dogs who are overly reactive to other dogs when on leash. Whether your (or your client's) dog reacts by barking, lunging, stiffening or hiding behind your legs, this booklet is full of humane and effective dog training solutions to a common dog problem. It includes new sections on equipment, an expanded section on "Where's the Dog", and revised instructions for teaching "Watch". With plans for handling emergencies such as off-leash dogs who show up out of no where, this dog training program can make leash walks fun again, for you AND your dog.

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.
Volunteering at my local shelter, I am already working the 'Watch Me' command into my training routine. Sure these dogs today are indeed Feisty Fidos as this review is being written, but I will use 'Watch Me' early on in the training of other dogs. Somewhere right around the 'Sit' stage of the game!
Again, there is more stuff here that any dog owner can use, not just for Feisty Fidos! And... Information that just may prevent a Friendly Fido from turning Fiesty later. |

| This booklet was a breakthrough for me with my dog who had been fine walking on leash for months and then, what I thought was suddenly, became leash aggressive. I wish I had read this sooner as I only made the situation worse on my own! 'Watch' is probably the most important thing I have ever taught my dog. I can't even begin to explain the change in our relationship by just being able to have her entire focus on me instead of on another dog. We have gone from tense walks to leisurely strolls just from these few key elements and a lot of repetition. |

| I love this booklet. It summarizes leash aggression in easy to digest layman's terms. I have used it countless times with my clients, and always recommend them getting it. Not only is it an easy read, but the techniques and skills are easy to teach to your dog and actually work too! |
