 useful for dog behaviour consulting January 9, 2008
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
Understand I'm a layman, not a professional. And, yes, I did see "dog behavior consulting" in the title. :-) To be honest, I bought this because we have seven people in and out of our house and we've been raising two dogs. I expected something different but I still found this a useful resource. The author is described as both family therapist and dog behavior consultant. She is obviously sensitive to both dogs and people - if that's possible. I'm guessing this would be a useful handbook for dog behavior consultants even if you don't consider yourself a "positive dog trainer" because of the family elements that she highlights and strategies she purposes. It's nicely laid out and easy to use with short chapters divided into shorter sections, lists, charts. She's practical and down to earth. Even though it wasn't what I expected, I definately found it interesting and worth looking at.
 Groundbreaking Book- Consistency in treating"dog behavior problems" August 4, 2006

To begin with I would like to include a quote that describes my opinion regarding this book."
"Talent is the ability to hit a target others cannot hit; genius is the ability to hit a hit a target others cannot see." Schopenhauer/author
Lynn Hoover's new book is a refreshing change which includes a comprehensive outlook regarding treating the dog's "problem behaviors" within the context of the family and other support personnel.
As an applied behavior analyst by trade and experience with people,and animals specifically horses, the book provides an interdisciplinary process based upon systematic procedures validated in the behavioral world as "state of the art treatment". Buy the book and improve the quality of life for your animals and your family. Debbie Strother, MS, BCBA, CABA/Equine
