A bit of an older publication by Pam Dennison but still a great read.

I think she included a lot of practical information and really used great language to translate her ideas to readers. A super easy and engaging read - clearly designed for a pet owner to read with enough information so not to overwhelm but also resources for those looking for more.

Good read.

The Rule of sevens pg 43 and the menu of consequences and behaviors pg 57.

At BEBHS, we are referencing this great book in our "Dogs with Attitude" class. There are lots of great exercises to help rehabilitate aggressive dogs. The first step is recognizing that your dog is aggressive. A must read for dog trainers.

Incredible for just get "back to basics" training. It is never too late! This is a how to book-with simple concrete steps. Coupled with any of Pat Miller's books and your dog is well on his or her way on to a peaceful life.
