 fine, but I wanted more! February 19, 2007

I was disappointed in the fact that for the price of the book and shipping this was just a booklet. There could have been more detail and more examples to work out for the author--more situations or examples. I just wanted more information to help as we deal with our great pyrenese--one well raised since coming home at 8 weeks and one just rescued from a shelter at 10 months and having some fear issues; some crate issues and some mental baggage. Both dogs have a great personality dog #2 just needs to find it again....the book was helpful, I just wanted MORE!

This short little book is wonderful. It concisely explains the counter-conditioning method to help your fearful/aggressive dog cope with their problem. McConnell makes is clear to understanding not only how to practice the method, but why it can work. From barking at the doorbell and guests, to aggressively barking at other dogs and people, this little book can help make life better for both the dog and the owner.

Although this is more of a booklet than a book, there is a treasure trove of invaluable information to be found between its covers. Readers will find a very clear, easy-to-understand program to address a dog's fears, whether they manifest as fearful behavior or fear-based aggression. The principles are scientifically sound yet explained in everyday language. McConnell gives examples that make the theories even more easily accessible. Anyone following this program, whether alone or under the guidance of a professional trainer, should make progress. This booklet is one that I always give to my clients whose dogs have this type of behavior issue. Highly recommended!

I should have read the ALL of the reviews, then at least I would have known I was getting a 30 page PAMPHLET. I was extremely disappointed. First, anyone with more than a passing familiarity with dogs is away of the type of techniques presented in this book. Second, virtually identical information was in a pamphlet that my vet has hanging on the wall, which I picked up for free this past week when I had a dog there. Don't get me wrong, if you know nothing about dogs, this is good STARTING information, but for just maybe a dollar. HOW IS THIS CALLED A BOOK WHEN THE BINDING IS STAPLES HOLDING TOGETHER 15 FOLDED PIECES OF PAPER???
