Product Description

An aggressive dog, whether large or small, baring its teeth and growling can be a terrifying sight. Dogs, like children, require boundaries and sound training in order for them to grow into sociable, well-mannered adults with a healthy respect for their fellow beings. Here, the author explains how to recognise an indomitable spirit and undestand the causes of hostility in dogs. She advises owners how to educate their dog sympathetically to subdue its aggression in favour of respect. The author is an experienced dog trainer and her common-sense approach to behavioural problems in dogs is shown in this book by the taming of Craig.

About the Author

Barbara Sykes is a member of the British Institute of Professional Dog Trainers and regularly gives talks on dog behaviour. Previous books for Crowood include: Training the Sheep Dog [with Thomas Longton], Understanding Border Collies and most recently Understanding Your Dog.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life Saver, 21 Jan 2003

By	"jinji" - See all my reviews

This slim volume is packed with simple and practical information - some of it wasn't new - but it was put together in a way that really crystallised some of the thoughts I already had about dogs and problem behaviour. I can't understand Lisa Lohreys' gripe, I found it well written and wish I had read it sooner. Having had a problem dog, and a rescued dog at that, I feel I could have done more to rehabilitate a very disturbed animal. Unfortunately, it arrived too late. Regets aside, it still has a lot to offer - she really can "think dog" - and if you are willing to try you can do it too. Prevention is better than cure, but if you have an aggressive dog, this book will give you a good chance of re-training him/her, and save not just the dog's life but maybe a childs too.

5.0 out of 5 stars valuable information, 14 Jul 2002

By	margaret green (UK) - See all my reviews

Rarely does a book contain valuable information from the first to the last page but this one, as with all Barbara Sykes' books, has valuable information on every page. Well written and easy to understand it deals with the problems of aggression and cannot fail to give confidence to the owners who are struggling to deal with aggressive dogs.
I am amazed that Lisa Lohrey struggled with this book but feel that as a qualified reader of many books she has maybe never dealt with aggression, other than through extensive reading. As a trainer and behaviourist of many years I commend her other choices but have found none to contain the simple and easy to understand training methods that are explained in this little book.
I have found this to be a valuable source of information and would strongly recommend it to others, as it not only helps to understand an aggressive dog it also gives the reader encouragement and confidence to tackle the problem, a point often overlooked by other authors.

There is no miracle cure for aggression but this book gives hope and a will to try and resolve the problem in a sensible and down to earth way.
