Good information to know
I have had dogs my whole life and thought I knew a lot about their body language. However, our current dogs, while very sweet, are not always well-behaved. This book is helping me correct MY behavior which is also helping me correct theirs. Good purchase with lots of useful information!

Great Reference Tool
I’m getting a few copies of this to keep on hand to give to clients. I am a professional dog trainer and this is a great reference source for any level dog owner/guardian to help resolve some classic behavioral issues.

Adolesence
The sample provided led me to believe this would be a generalized training book or manual. There seemed to be too much leaning on the clicker method, which I don’t particularly care for. I did find some of her advice helpful and appropriate for modification from the clicker method. I liked the philosophy of always keeping the best interest of the dog in mind. This was definitely not an alpha control situation which is too harsh, I think, for dogs these days. I have an adolescent 74# dog, who is big but sensitive, wants to sometimes do it his way but is always nice about it, and has a delightful personality I wouldn’t want to alter in any way. Neither would this author.

Hire a trainer
I had high hopes for this book in helping me deal with my dogs aggression towards other dogs. I have a jack Russell, and probably was swayed by the one on the cover of the book! Unfortunately, most of the recommendations are to hire a trainer.
