Scaredy Dog, Understanding and Rehabilitating Your Dog |
Ali Brown, M.Ed. CPDT |
When dogs growl at other dogs, lunge at people, and bark at everything
it’s often mislabeled as “aggression”. But most aggression is fear-based and
should be treated as such. The appropriate term for this constellation of
behaviors is “reactivity”. This book helps the trainer and dedicated dog
owner to understand the reactive dog and help him change for the better. |
