Click to Calm: Healing the Aggressive Dog PDF Print E-mail

Click to CalmClick to Calm by Emma Parsons, provides an excellent program of desensitization and counterconditioning to help aggressive and reactive dogs maintain themselves in their “thinking brain” rather than their “reacting brain.” The exercises in this book, when applied consistently and at the dog’s own pace, will gradually alter the dog’s perceptions and emotions, reducing fear and reactivity. “Recipes” for teaching specific skills are easy to follow and make a big difference in the handler’s ability to “read” the dog and keep the dog’s attention even in the face of distraction as well as the dog’s impulse control and ability to concentrate on the handler. Highly recommended for anyone with a “reactive” dog (who barks, snaps, lunges, or otherwise reacts in unwanted ways to other dogs or scary objects or even people).
