Book Reviews of Feisty Fido: Help for the Leash-Reactive Dog
Book Review: A Concise Guide to Helping the Leash Aggressive Dog
Summary: 5 Stars
This brief, concise guide does not pretend to be a comprehensive tome for curing canine aggression; what it does address is one aspect of canine behavior that is troublesome to many owners--leash aggression. As a trainer, I see many people who understand that their dogs might not ever play off-leash at a dog park, but would like to be able to take them for a daily walk. The majority of the time that is a realistic goal, and this book explains how it can be achieved.
McConnell explains the foundation skills owners should teach their dogs, such as giving attention and an emergency U-turn, as well as detailing when to use each one. She explains how to begin as well as how to progress through the behavior modification process. The overall approach is gentle, humane, and based on sound scientific principles. While McConnell is a recognized expert in the field, she has a gift for explaining theory and techniques in language that the average dog owner can easily understand. She and Karen London, a fellow Ph.D., have produced a guide that is well organized, easy to follow, and extremely helpful.
