From the back cover:

“When distressing doggy behavior dashes your dreams of having the perfect puppy, your life takes a spin. Most owners feel lost when their dog starts to growl at other dogs, lunge at people, and bark at everything. These behaviors are often mislabeled as ‘aggression’. But most aggression is fear-based and should be treated as such. The appropriate term for this constellation of behaviors is ‘reactivity.’

This book helps the dedicated dog owner to understand what a reactive dog is doing, why he is doing it, and how to help him to change it for the better. The process is not an easy one, but once the changes begin to take shape, owners become so encouraged that the rest of the process suddenly becomes easy!

All training methods used here are based on fun and the development of a working relationship with your dog. Learn how to make the most of your reactive dog, and begin your trek to a new and wonderful life with your pal!”
