Redefining Reactivity: Using the CDD Method

by Bethany Bell

Redefining Reactivity with the CDD Method by Bethany Bell presents a revolutionary approach to understanding and managing canine reactivity. Drawing on her extensive background in animal behaviour and welfare, Bell introduces the Canine Dialogue Dynamics (CDD) method, a ground-breaking technique she developed after years of conventional training failed to address her own dogs' reactive behaviours.

This book guides readers through a detailed preparation phase before delving into the practical application of the CDD method, ensuring both dog and owner are ready for the journey ahead. Designed to be read sequentially, "Redefining Reactivity" challenges conventional dog training ideologies, encouraging readers to adopt a more empathetic and scientifically-backed perspective towards canine behaviour management.

With content supported by the latest research, anecdotal evidence, and established psychological principles, this book is an essential resource for any dog owner struggling with reactivity. Whether you're a seasoned trainer or a first-time dog parent, Bethany Bell's approach offers new hope and strategies for fostering a harmonious relationship with your reactive dog, promising a path towards a more peaceful and understanding coexistence. The CDD method is a force free and ethical approach to teaching dogs.

Excellent book. Very insightful, inspiring and informative. Easy to read, easy to apply and after a month of using the CDD method with my reactive dog, I can see huge improvements already.
