My Bible.....by a proffessional trainerNovember 7, 2005 13 out of 14 found this review helpful
Excellent book. Bought this over a year ago but warrented a return to review. This is my Bible as a practicing proffessional dog psychologist. I combine many training methods in my work with aggressive dogs and have found none more effective than the methods used in this book. A kind, effective approach. I have reccommended this book to many of my customers. Well written. Barbara Sykes is a true expert in dog aggression. Trust this book and enjoy the peace it will bring to your dog. There are many reformed characters thanks to this sharing of expertise.
Life SaverJanuary 21, 2003 26 out of 26 found this review helpful
This slim volume is packed with simple and practical information - some of it wasn't new - but it was put together in a way that really crystallised some of the thoughts I already had about dogs and problem behaviour. I can't understand Lisa Lohreys' gripe, I found it well written and wish I had read it sooner. Having had a problem dog, and a rescued dog at that, I feel I could have done more to rehabilitate a very disturbed animal. Unfortunately, it arrived too late. Regets aside, it still has a lot to offer - she really can "think dog" - and if you are willing to try you can do it too. Prevention is better than cure, but if you have an aggressive dog, this book will give you a good chance of re-training him/her, and save not just the dog's life but maybe a childs too.
valuable informationJuly 14, 2002 40 out of 42 found this review helpful
Rarely does a book contain valuable information from the first to the last page but this one, as with all Barbara Sykes' books, has valuable information on every page. Well written and easy to understand it deals with the problems of aggression and cannot fail to give confidence to the owners who are struggling to deal with aggressive dogs. I am amazed that Lisa Lohrey struggled with this book but feel that as a qualified reader of many books she has maybe never dealt with aggression, other than through extensive reading. As a trainer and behaviourist of many years I commend her other choices but have found none to contain the simple and easy to understand training methods that are explained in this little book. I have found this to be a valuable source of information and would strongly recommend it to others, as it not only helps to understand an aggressive dog it also gives the reader encouragement and confidence to tackle the problem, a point often overlooked by other authors.
There is no miracle cure for aggression but this book gives hope and a will to try and resolve the problem in a sensible and down to earth way.
