Fight!a Pratical Guide To The Treatment Of Dog-dog Aggression

[4 Paws]

Hi,

i am interested in purchasing the above titled book but have to get it from overseas so wondering if anyone has a copy and if it's worth buying

i have a fear aggressive dog who has made a lot of progress but still working on it and just interested in having a read of this one,plus once i have finished putting my dogs through the local obedience training I'll be starting to learn to become a trainer there so always looking at getting a bit more knowledge on it

I haven't heard of this - would also be interested in finding out what it is like.

ETA: I saw this one at a bookshop and it looked good but didn't get to go all the way through it:

Dog to Dog Communication: The Right Way to Socialize Your Dog by Jamie Shaw

here's a little about it

From the award-winning author of Culture Clash and MINE! A practical guide to the treatment of dog-dog aggression. This down-to-earth manual will teach you how to use behavior modification to retrain a dog that bullies other dogs, or becomes fearful when approached by other dogs. Includes descriptions of common types of aggression, assessing prognosis, remedial socialization, on-leash manners training, proximity sensitivity, play style and skills, resource guarding, and prevention.

Jean Donaldson is excellent, I highly recommend any of her books.

Get her books from DogWise online and they ship very quickly.

I have a copy but haven't gotten all of the way through just yet. It's good though, worth buying....pretty sure I would have gotten my copy from Jenny Ireland in SA yep I did- Fight- Pets in the making store.

I also have Click to Calm by Emma Parsons but ashamed to say I've only flicked through it so far.

Excellent! Always up for books on dog aggression to learn how to manage it better and even how to fix it.

Julie, when I finally get back to obedience training maybe 14 June (what with two saturdays out with sore leg, one show, now this weekend will be wet wet wet) I will bring you one of my books, it's called Control Unleashed - really worthwhile stuff to read as well.
