 Some other books that might help, too August 16, 2006
Mary Carroll (Elizabeth City, NC)
12 out of 14 found this review helpful
I liked this book and feel it will help. Some other resources for some specific types of aggression not mentioned in the other reviews are "Fight!" by Jean Donaldson, for dogs that aggress toward other dogs, "Mine!" by Jean Donaldson, for dogs that guard their food bowl or other items of value (to the dog), and "Feisty Fido! Help for the Leash Aggressive Dog" by Patricia B. McConnell and Karen B. London. The techniques in these practical, reasonably-priced pamphlets would mesh well with the other resources mentioned.
Also try Sunshine Books (Karen Pryor) August 12, 2006

Although its been suggested in a review here, Aggression in Dogs: Practical Management, Prevention & Behaviour Modification (Paperback) by Brenda Aloff is rather expensive. I like Karen Pryor's books because they emphasize positive, reward driven training and behavior modification.
 How to Right a Dog Gone Wrong July 24, 2006
Dedra R. Jones (Baton Rouge, LA USA)
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
Book is decently written and information logically presented. However, it does not really provide adequate details for application of techniques. It indicates that basic obedience is the fundamental method of correcting dogs who show aggression, but does not give adequate in-depth specifics to support the title's promise.
 great exercises for retraining April 13, 2006

Having read a number of books on the subject, this is one that I have found both useful and user-friendly. (For my taste, some of the other books on the subject were too heavy on theoretical talk, others fell short of useable training exercises.)
I would recommend this book in combination with 2 others for a comprehensive but concise library: Pam Dennison "Bringing Light to Shadow: A Dog Trainer's Diary," and Turid Rugaas, "Calming Signals."
These 3 work synergistically to help trainers as well as dog owners understand their dogs and develop a sensible approach to managing and rehabilitating their dogs.
Overall, A Pretty Decent Book on Canine Agression. March 14, 2006
Dennis in Michigan (Metro Detroit, Michigan, USA)
49 out of 51 found this review helpful
For reference, I would suggest the reader check out my other two reviews I have written to date about books on canine agression, for "Grrr!!!" by Margolis and "Agression in Dogs" by Brenda Aloff. This book is intermediate between the two -- definitely more useful than "Grrr!!!," which is esentially just a primer on basic obedience, and a much easier read than the very complex book by Brenda Aloff.
My one complaint about this book is that I feel most of the exercises and training regimens are primarily geared toward dog-on-dog agression. While they might be universally adaptable to treating all types of agression, I would have liked to have seen more about dealing with other types. But, having said that, this book is not particularly expensive, and if it gives the reader even a little insight or a few tips which they can use on their own dog, it would be well worth the cost of the book. While I don't forsee using the book on a daily basis until the spine is ruined and the pages fall out, it's not the type of book which is going into the box for the local library's fundraiser used book sale, either. I guess I would advise the undecided buyer to get a copy and glean what they can from it.
