Is your dog afraid of strangers? Would he rather hide than play with other dogs? Does he take cover at the sound of thunder, or cringe when you pick up a brush or nail clippers?

Whatever your dog is afraid of, this comprehensive guide to the treatment of canine anxiety, fears and phobias can help you learn how to help a scared dog, how to get a scared dog to trust you, and how to help a fearful dog to gain confidence. Fearful dog rehabilitation is possible!

 

Topics include learning how to read your dog’s stress signals; how your attitude affects your dog’s behavior; how to set up a Firm Foundation program at home; how to establish leadership so your dog will feel more secure; the influence of good nutrition and regular exercise on your dog’s fear issues; four essential skills to teach, and how to apply them in everyday life; and much more.
