Extremely Useful

I have a 13 month old mixed breed dog, adopted from the SPCA. We don't know much about his past, but it's clear that at the very least, he was treated harshly. He is very timid and unsure of himself, and extremely sensitive to noise & motion. Underneath all that, fortunately, is a very sweet-natured and loving dog, and Wilde's book has been of enormous help. I have owned and worked with six very different dogs - including a rescue dog who was badly abused - Kei has been a unique challenge, but he is turning into a much more confident and happy dog, with the help of a number of suggestions from Wilde's book. She includes an enourmous amount of information, that runs the gamut from nutrition to pharmacological treatments, but without ever overwhelming the reader. One aspect I particularly like is that she does not advocate any one method or product; she presents the pros and cons (and gives resources for further study) and is quick to point out that what works with one animal may not work for another. I'd highly reccomend the book to anyone adopting a dog from a shelter, even if the dog doesn't exhibit problem behaviors, as well as to any dog owner who wants a good, practical resource on canine behavior.

Great Book For Owners of Fearful Dogs

This is one of my favorite dog behavior books in the last 5 years. As a dog trainer and behavior consultant, I have been recommending this book to my clients as a complement to their training programs. They love it! They are so glad to have a resource that they can share with family members and friends to help everyone better understand their dog. Nicole Wilde does an excellent job of presenting information in a way that is easy for the average dog owner to understand, but still keeps it interesting for the professional dog trainer.

I give it 5 stars and 4 Paws up!

I Love "Help for Your Fearful Dog"!

As a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant I have to say this is a "must have" on every professional's bookshelf as well as many dogowner's. As have many of Nicole's books in the past, this one lived up to its name. Not only is it helpful but it is written in "plain English" and with a lot of humor to boot! I now make a habit of consulting the wonderful bullet-point summary at the end of each chapter before I finish my behavior treatment plans just to make sure I haven't forgotten another great suggestion that my clients will want to try out!

I also like how Nicole delves into complementary therapies such as TTouch, aromatherapy, Flower Essences and more.

This book is well worth the price!

This is by far one of the best resources, not only for dog owners, but for dog trainers as well. It is full of some of the very best information on treating and managing fearful dogs. Nicole Wilde has done it again! Yet another wonderful book from her. Congratulations.

Owner of a Scaredy Cat Dog

I was recommended to buy this book from a dog trainer I was working with, and it is fabulous. The techniques it gives you will benefit any owner of a skittish dog or even one with just a few fears. It is thorough, easy to read and implement.
