“What is the Midnight Dog Walkers’ Club?

If you have a reactive or aggressive dog, and you find yourself walking him in the middle of the night or at the break of dawn to avoid meeting other people and dogs, you are already a member of this exclusive club to which nobody wants to belong. in The Midnight Dog Walkers, professional force-free trainer Annie Phenix addresses the often-taboo topics of reactivity and aggression in canines, speaking to owners honestly and candidly from the vantage point of her own experiences, successes, and even heartbreaks.  Using reward-centered, scientifically based techniques with a focus on the all-important human-canine bond, Phenix introduces owners to training methods to help their dogs recover from fear, anxiety, and aggression in collaboration with a professional trainer or behaviorist.

Inside The Midnight Dog Walkers:

  • The stories of real Midnight Dog Walkers, detailing the extreme measures they take to manage their dogs’ behavior around others
  • The author’s experiences with her own aggressive and fearful dogs
  • The importance of good breeding and proper socialization in forming a dog’s adult personality and temperament
  • Why punishment-based training worsens a dog’s behavior and destroys the human-canine bond
  • The history of positive reinforcement and the qualities of a good dog trainer
  • Creating open communication and cooperation between owners, trainers, and veterinarians
  • Phenix’s training program and plans for managing and rehabilitating a reactive or aggressive dog”
