4 out of 5 stars Great book. Very helpful, but...   August 25, 2008

Fantastic resource but I wouldn't have put an English Bulldog on the cover. They are the least aggressive dog I know.


5 out of 5 stars These techniques greatly helped our leash aggressive beagle!   December 18, 2007

The book is brief and as it clearly states it only will help a dog that has fear-based aggression while on leash. You'll want to have consulted a professional dog trainer/behaviorist to make sure this is the issue you have. We did, and we were taught to counter-condition our leash aggressive beagle using these techniques. After 3 months of work he's greatly improved. After another 6, the conditioning has become even stronger. Neighbors (we live in a condo) have commented that they've noticed that our beagle is much quieter (as opposed to the daily outbursts we'd have as our beagle would flip out at the sight of another dog!) At this price point, McConnell's booklet is no-brainer. Check out her others as well.


5 out of 5 stars My opinion   October 25, 2007
This book is well written document to help individuals gain direction on dealing with dog aggression. I would recommend it as a background for any dog owner dealing with this issue. It is NOT a replacement for seeking qualified help from a professional behaviorist, which the author is. I have read most of her publications and find them useful tools in learning to manage my dogs.


5 out of 5 stars very good book!   October 1, 2007

I like the very friendly work with dogs, and Patricia
always looks that the dogs feel great in what he is doing!

And besides the happy dog learns faster!

5 out of 5 stars Excellent, easy-to-follow and kind techniques   May 23, 2007
 7 out of 7 found this review helpful

I have a rescued dog that is nuts-aggressive on a leash. I have read sooooo many dog training/behavior books, and this one is one of the best. Why? 1) It gets right to the point. 2) There are only 3 main techniques to remember and practice (plus a few "panic button" tactics). 3) It's fewer than 60 pages.

This book is easy to understand and doesn't muddy the issues with a lot of extra stuff. The techniques are non-violent but work. I've been through several dog trainers that told me that I wasn't correcting my dog hard enough so he wasn't getting the message. Things were only getting worse. The corrections were only making him more agitated, so that he began aggressing earlier and earlier when he saw another dog.

This book helps you train your dog to have a different reaction to whatever sets him off so that his habit is to look at you when another dog (or person) comes around, instead of freaking out.

McConnell anticipates that things always don't go as planned; one heading is titled, "Oops! My Dog Looked Away Before I Said Okay." She also gives suggestions for troubleshooting.

I highly recommend this booklet!
