Wish I had this months ago!

If I had found this book a few months ago, I could have saved a lot of money. This book has ALL of the advice that I received from several sessions with a trainer and from a veterinary behaviorist! I learned a lot more, too.

This book has everything you need to know about a scared dog, whether the dog is aggressive or hiding under the bed. The book has great advice about recognizing a scared dog, training, leadership, toys & treats that motivate, medications, food, complementary therapies, understanding a scared dog's motivation, and exercise.

One of the best dog books ever!

I purchased this book at a seminar. I couldn't wait to get to my room and dig in to it! I was not disappointed! As a professional dog trainer and behavior consultant, I am always looking for new and better ways to handle behavior problems. This book is full of great suggestions. I think every dog trainer should have this book as part of their reference library.

I have been asked by a local community college to prepare a course on canine behavior problems and how to correct them. This book will be one of my textbooks. The information contained in this book is clear, concise, and to the point. It is presented in a manner that makes the reader feel comfortable enough with the material to put it into practice.

I would recommend this book to anyone that owns a dog. Furthermore, it would make a great gift for that neighbor with a fearful dog. If you are a trainer, make sure this book is on your shelf; make sure the pages are well read!

Excellent Help!!!

I just recently acquired a somewhat shy mini-dachshund and needed instruction on how to assist him in overcoming his apprehensions. Various sources on line recommended "Help for Your Shy Dog" by Deborah Wood. I bought it, as well as this book by Nicole Wilde. The Deborah Wood book was a complete waste of time - no details were included on how I should proceed with my dog on anything, only just what amounted to a bunch of cheerleading (e.g., "with patience even you can do it!"). This Nicole Wilde Book, however, contains all the protocols you need to follow for virtually any kind of fear a dog might have. I highly recommend it for anyone with a shy dog, or any kind of dog for that matter. After reading this book, I am now making huge progress with my dog's apprehensions, and feel well equipped to deal with any fear that may come up in the future.

Excellent book!

I work with a local dog rescue organization. Many rescue dogs have had a tough life and are very fearful. Techniques from this book have been very helpful with these dogs and helped them to come a long way towards becoming great adoptable pets.
