An excellent training method for dogs. This book was recommended by an animal trainer who we brought in to work with one of our dogs who had fear-aggression issues.
It helped to reinforce the bond between our dog and trainer-owner (us), increase his confidence and trust in us, and decreased his fear.
It also helped our other dog calm down and become more obedient.

This book is all you need to get started on a better relationship with your reactive or anxious dog. It is also worth reading for anyone who owns dogs of any temperament or is interested in dog training.
Emma, nicely done. As a trainer who works with fear-based agression this book is filled with ideas to help - and with different animal/human teams you need a toolbox of ideas. Thank you

This is a powerful book about healing aggression and how it feels to be a dog trainer with a "bad" dog. I think Emma Parson's honestly is wonderful and the base of behavioral retraining and the power of the clicker well explained.
This book also has many activities, strategies and training techniques you can work on with you own dog whether aggressive, nervous or you just want to do more.

I w1,000% recommend this book to anyone who has a dog, regardless of whether the dog is aggressive or shy or happy or calm. The training approach that is outlined in this book has not only transformed my fearfully aggressive yorkie, but it has shaped my happy dachshund into a much more well-behaved dog. I can't say enough about how fabulous this book is. 5 stars are not enough!
Never thought I'd be clicker training my dog, but this book is a user-friendly guide to helping reactive and fearful dogs. We are making progress with our reactive dog these days, and we owe some of that progress to this helpful publication.
Love this book...very detailed instructions on how to calm an agressive dog.
