This book is great for dog owners and dog professionals alike. I am familiar with the key concepts in the book with regard to changing fearful/reactive dog's behaviour, but there was enough I didn't know to keep me interested. As someone who works with and owns dogs who have displayed reactive behaviour, Sally's book gives clear, sound advice and will help you change the lives of your dogs for the better.
This is the book that I needed back in 2019! I had little clue about dog body language and a new puppy who was so different from my previous dogs and scared of everything. Since becoming a dog trainer and behaviour consultant, I learned how to help my dog over several years and courses, yet Sally Gutteridge has summarised this into a clear, concise and actionable guide that can help you and your reactive dog. If you follow the advice in this book with the calm and understanding attitude advised, you will get to live your best life with you dog. The work you put in, to learning about your dog is an excellent investment which will make your relationship even stronger in the future. The photos and cartoons of dog body language are an invaluable guide so that we can begin to understand how our dog is communicating with us. I use the methods in this book and will be recommending it to my clients.
This book was a game changer for me when I took on a very reactive rescue dog in 2020. The knowledge I gained from this and subsequent books by Sally Gutteridge has enabled me to give my once confused, fearful boy the secure, calm and happy home he always deserved.
In some ways I learned more from this than training, although using a similar approach. Gutteridge emphasises the underlying emotions and the relationship between human and dog. A very helpful book.
I loved this book. My cockapoo has become aggressive towards other dogs, and Sally's advice has helped me see we've been placing too many expectations on him and causing him stress. Already calming him down and protecting him from stressors has made a great difference to his demeanor. I'm excited about working with him to gradually and safely make him more comfortable as he goes back out into social life.
