Thank you for this outstanding book! She’s a small dog, viciously attacked several years ago, and her anxiety/aggression has gotten worse over time. I will put it to use with my adult dog who has worsening aggression towards other dogs. I hope this works!
This was one of the best (and logical) books I’ve seen on this topic. We have a sweet mix who arrived from Sri Lanka in January of this year. In the foster home, she appeared very socialized with several other dogs. When we got her home, she reacts strongly to any dog she sees (or smells) with growling and barking and lunging. Slow progress. She is acclimated to the two dogs that live in the houses that border ours – she has stopped growling and barking at them. We’re getting there! Thank you!
