Aggression in Dogs: Practical Management, Prevention & Behaviour Modification
Learn more about dog aggression and dog behaviour and how to address reactive or aggressive behaviour, with over 400 pages of text, drawings, and photographs. As the book says, aggression has a wide range of manifestations.
This book does not just discuss aggression. It provides protocols to use for behaviour modification. Starting with prevention, the reader learns about common mistakes owners make to promote aggression in their dog, and how to avoid these mistakes.
In the behaviour modification section, learn about how to build trust with the dog, using positive reinforcement. Brenda Aloff shows how to achieve this level of trust with hundreds of exercises to promote appropriate behaviour and modify inappropriate behaviour. In the practical management section, the reader is prepared for a lifelong regimen of keeping his dog safe.
The exercises in this book will be a salvation for problem dogs and a guide for prevention for others. Anyone involved with dogs will find a wealth of information about dog behaviour in these pages and practical do-able solutions for problems.

"This book is terrific for owners of any dog. We actually rescued an dog-aggressive dog and actually went to Brenda Aloff for a few sessions. Her advice and exercises helped turn a stressed out little monster into my little princess. My dog isn't magically cured, but by using this book, we've taught her to look to her humans for guidance in stressful situations, instead of just attacking as she would in the past. She knows the rules and was taught them in a completely positive reinforcement manner. I highly recommend this book". ~ A gal with a dog
