Book Reviews of Help for Your Fearful Dog: A Step-by-Step Guide to Helping Your Dog Conquer His Fears
Book Review: A Dream Come True Handbook!
Summary: 5 Stars
Just when you thought you have read all there is on canine training and behavior, another book surfaces. Unlike the others, this one is about FEARFUL DOGS, written by Nicole Wilde, CPDT.
There are very few books dealing with this subject. What makes this book special is that it is really the first comprehensive *guide* on the subject. Being a professional trainer and behavior counselor, I was certain I was going to read the same, old same old. I was pleasantly surprised, to say the least. What makes Nicole's book so appealing is that it is easily understandable by pet owners. In fact, not only is it a *dream come true handbook* for owners of a fearful dog, it is definitely a thorough resource for training professionals, as well.
Written in a fresh and clever style, Help For Your Fearful Dog is the *Pepcid AC* for helping your pet overcome its fears. This book is a thorough compilation of "the many faces" of Fear. Nicole describes and discusses the various kinds of fear, what causes it and ways you can prevent it. In addition, this book helps the reader understand why a dog may perceive its environment, or people or objects as threatening. By using positive and dog friendly methods of behavior modification, Nicole provides step by step guidance, and what you need to know to ensure success in working with your dog.
The entire book is peppered with pictures as well as important and effective training tips. Another plus is the addition of actual cases of fear which helps the reader further understand what she clearly explains. In addition, at the end of each chapter, the readers will find a *tail end wrap up*, which recapitulates important points to remember. This is very helpful!
And if that is not enough, Nicole offers an exhaustive list of wonderful resources that you can avail yourself of for further assistance.
If you have any books on your wish list, this one is a must have!
