Explains the process for helping dogs with behaviour problems in plain language. Calling on her years of experience as a certified canine behaviour consultant, the author highlights the journeys of past clients through a series of vignettes broken up by chapters that contain informative and researched guidance.

When a pet dog injures a human or other dog, the owner is left in a state of fear and confusion. If a dog wreaks havoc and destruction on a home, the owner is left feeling helpless. If an owner finds a dog uncontrollable, or if a dog becomes aggressive and a threat to the community, the dog becomes the one that is at risk for injury or death. Families living with these behaviorally challenged dogs may become isolated and wonder if there is help for their dog. The reality is there are thousands of families facing these issues.

This book explains the process for helping dogs with behavior problems in plain language. Calling on her years of experience as a certified canine behavior consultant, the author highlights the journeys of past clients through a series of vignettes broken up by chapters that contain informative and researched guidance. While it is not meant to be a how-to training guide, the book lets people with reactive or anxious dogs know they are not alone. And for those that lose the battle, it walks with them through that final journey.

Linda Scroggins, RN MSN CBCC-KA, is a Certified Behavior Consultant-Canine. She is the owner and head trainer at All Dogs! Dog Training in St. Louis, Missouri and has worked with dogs facing behavioral challenges for the past twelve years.
