When a beloved pet dog causes harm to a human or another dog, the owner finds themselves in a state of profound fear and confusion. The consequences of such incidents can be devastating, leaving the owner feeling helpless and overwhelmed. In cases where a dog becomes uncontrollable or poses a threat to the community, the dog itself becomes vulnerable to injury or even death. Families living with these behaviorally challenged dogs often feel isolated and uncertain about seeking help for their beloved pets. However, the reality is that thousands of families are facing similar challenges. This book aims to provide a comprehensive guide for helping dogs with behavior problems in a clear and accessible manner. Drawing on the author's extensive experience as a certified canine behavior consultant, the book showcases the journeys of past clients through a series of vignettes interspersed with chapters that offer informative and researched guidance. While it is not intended to be a step-by-step training manual, the book serves as a source of solace and reassurance for owners of reactive or anxious dogs, letting them know that they are not alone in their struggles. Moreover, for those who face the difficult decision to let their beloved pets go, the book provides support and comfort during this final journey.
