A Must Read For Dog Behavior Counselors September 17, 2008

Nicole Wilde has drawn a clear and straightforward map for dog behavior consultants to follow in working through the issues of aggressive dogs and their owners. Here's a well-organized and thoughtful reference for us all to use as we work through the complexities of improving aggressive behavior in dogs, and working through the emotional issues their owners confront. Nicely done!

Nicole has done it again...provided another excellent resource for dog trainers libraries. The book is well laid out and fairly specific. It gives easy to follow advice and gives readers a glimpse into what it's like to work with aggression in a real world setting. Highly recommend it for any trainers library!

This book is full of every detail a new trainer needs to know if they are considering working with aggression cases. Actually, "old" trainers could benefit from it as well, as the book covers so many aspects of this subject. Ms. Wolfe discusses, among many, many other things: how to be sure you are ready for varying types of aggression; examples of client questionnaires; what to bring to such a session; what to wear to such a session (and why); definitions of canine behavior; what to discuss with the client to be sure they understand; what to do if you get bitten during a session; and so much more......And at the end of the book is a list of Resources available for even further knowledge. I recommend this book highly.

I work in canine behaviour and specialize in Dog Aggression cases, i always find that i am learning new things from day to day. I found this book extremely useful and informitive with some very common sense advice for anyone who works with dogs already, this is a must read. It becomes very obvious that Nicole has 'been there' so to speak and the reader will identify with some of the scenarios she describes. This deserves a five star rating.

A must-read for trainers who work on difficult cases July 23, 2008

Nicole Wilde's new book on aggression is a "must-read" not only for dog trainers who are considering taking on aggression cases, or currently do work with them, but also for trainers who work with other behavior cases. The questionnaires and advice in the book on taking a history are invaluable and any trainer, new or experienced, can gain some valuable tips and advice on working one on one with dog owners. This book covers all aspects of working with aggression cases from start to finish, with everything from what to do before, during and after a session to "what if" scenarios such as getting bitten, dealing with euthanasia, etc. I highly recommend this book!
