Reactive Dog (2004)
By Ali Brown. Most owners feel lost when their dog starts to growl at

of behaviors is "reactivity." This book helps the dedicated dog owner to
understand what a reactive dog is doing, why he's 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 on 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!
