Dog Training Book

CAUTIOUS CANINE - HOW TO HELP DOGS CONQUER THEIR FEARS

by Patricia McConnell

Edition: 2005 Paperback, 30 pages

So many behavioral problems in dogs result from fear, but fear-based problems can become worse if treated incorrectly. This booklet provides a step-by-step dog training program of desensitizing and classical counter-conditioning. It can help you solve minor dog problems and prevent serious ones, whether your dog's fears include the vacuum cleaner, people with hats, or the stranger at the door. Covered are the oh-so-important details related to identifying exactly what triggers your dog, creating a step-by-step treatment plan, monitoring your progress, and why you need to treat the fear and not just your dog's reaction to the fear. This book has helped thousands of dogs and their owners around the country.
