I think that I will find myself owing a great deal of my training knowledge from the expertise and well-structured advice that Emma Parsons offers in relation to working with and healing aggressive dogs. I thought it had some good behavior recipes to affect change and things that an average person could easily implement, however emma parsons was way too happy to use luring to start a behavior, and I am not comfortable with that. I w1,000% recommend this book to anyone who has a dog, regardless of whether the dog is aggressive or shy or happy or calm. Forgot to add – as far as additional reading, both Control Unleashed and Fired Up, Frantic, and Freaked Out go into a lot of detail on excitement-based reactivity like this, so either one would be a great option for your situation if you want to read more. Thank you for sharing your article about Emma Parsons – Click to calm; Talking aggressive & reactive dogs.
