Dogs are one of the most popular companion animals, and many of them go through life confident and happy with the world around them. A significant number do not - the scared dogs, the anxious dogs, the ones who are terrified when approached by another dog, person, or a whole range of possible things. These dogs react to the causes of their fear in a range of ways, all of which combine to make what are called 'reactive dogs', the ones who cannot cope and have to find a way to tell us. They may be labelled 'bad', 'aggressive', or 'vicious' when they are none of those things. They are scared, and it is up to us to learn and to help. Learn how fear, anxiety and stress affect the dog. Follow the chemical and physiological changes that happen in the fear response. Find out the potential causes of reactive behaviours, and how to help a puppy have the best chance of avoiding reactivity as they grow and mature into an adult. Discover how to help the reactive dog develop a better relationship with the world. Finish reading this book better understanding reactive dogs.

Fearful or reactive dogs are defined as dogs who have a greater than usual reaction to stimuli. Their behavior is often labeled as aggressive (even when they are not) and may include lunging, barking, growling, and pulling on the leash--often toward the "SCARY" object. In Focus Not Fear you'll get a glimpse into the real lives of reactive dogs that Ali has worked with in her classes--their growth, successes, and failures. It serves as a guide both for trainers who wish to run classes for their clients with reactive dogs and for owners of reactive dogs who must formulate a training plan of their own. Bet you never thought of doing this!Placing the dog in the family car at a distance from other "cars with dogs" to train. Controlling a wide range of variables including distance from others, movement, and weather. Using "running away" as a reward for tolerating scary stimuli. Working with one dog at a time--and using that dog's presence to desensitize dogs in the class. BONUS! Glossary of Terms and Concepts that will help you understand and apply the information in this book as well as other books on canine behavior and training.

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

Are you at the end of your tether with your reactive dog? Barking, lunging, screaming at people and other dogs? Here you can learn proven, positive, and simple science-backed techniques developed by professional dog trainer Beverley Courtney through her years of study and working with thousands of dog-owners like you, both face-to-face and in her popular online coaching programs. Picture the scene: you’re walking along the road with your dog when - horror of horrors! - another person with a dog appears at the end of the street. You start to breathe faster, your heart rate speeds up, you clutch the lead tightly to you, keeping your dog’s head close. Your dog spots the other dog, and lunges forward on the lead, barking ferociously. You gasp out broken commands as you try to keep your feet on the ground. The other person sweeps by, looking down their nose at you. Now shame enters the mix. Your dog has behaved badly, you were quite unable to control him, and now you’re condemned as a useless dog-owner with a nasty dog. This walk has turned into a walk of shame and misery. Your dog is now on his toes, anxiously scanning for the next intruder to bark at. Your hands are sore, your throat is dry. You wish you could disappear into a hole in the ground, wondering where you have gone wrong. Sound familiar? The first thing to realise is that you are not alone! There are lots of people who have dogs whom they love dearly - dogs who are a pleasure and delight about the house: calm, biddable, great with the kids. But as soon as they venture out of the door, the horns and the forked tail grow. 👉 Book 1 in the easy-to-read series Essential Skills for your Growly but Brilliant Family Dog shows you exactly what is going on with your dog - why he’s doing what he’s doing - and sets you on the road to make some changes born of understanding that will ultimately transform your walks. It’s important that you have this knowledge before you attempt to make the changes in Books 2 and 3. “If you want to enter a phase of partnership and understanding with your dog then this is a book for you!” 5* review Beverley writes with empathy for anyone whose dog has been labelled anxious, fearful, aggressive, or reactive - and the undercurrent of humour which flows through all her books will keep you smiling as you work through this entirely force-free program.
