Editorial Review: Product Description: 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? Never fear! Whatever your dog is afraid of, this comprehensive guide to the treatment of canine anxiety, fears and phobias can help. 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. Written by a professional trainer/behavior consultant of over 20 years who specializes in fear issues, the book includes easy-to-follow, step-by-step behavior modification programs that really work. 15 specific fears are addressed, including those of people, other dogs, sounds, touch, nail-clipping, riding in the car, and being left alone. Get advice on products and cutting-edge complementary therapies that can help to calm your cautious canine. Filled with photographs, illustrations, and over 400 pages of specific, immediately useful advice, written in a down-to-earth and humorous style. Average Rating:
 Rating: - Very good book for owners of shy dogsHaving a fearful dog can be a challenge and be very frustrating at times. I felt as if we were not making much in the way of improvement. But after reading this book I realized the process is slow. This book gives you everything you need to know to understanding your dog. It helped give me some ideas to do with her. While our progress is slow my dog is improving and there are many wonderful things about her. I have learned she is a special dog that's all. This book will help you see this about your ... Read More Rating: - Excellent resource for owners of fearful dogsI purchased this book because I have a fearful dog and it was recommended on Ian Dunbar's dog training website, [...].

Even if your dog only has slight fear issues or none at all, this book will be very helpful. The techniques Nicole goes over in her book are also useful in helping prevent your dog from becoming fearful. ...

The chapters that refer to particular fears are too short and are less about helping to correct the problem than they are about the background to the problem itself. Also the book ... Read More Rating: - I wish I had this book years ago!I wish I had this book years ago, when I adopted my own fearful dog! While it's a bit more easy to guide someone else through the process of rehabilitating a fear-bound hound, taking one on in your own life is a completely different story. As I read this book for the first time, I frequently stopped to wonder how easy my little journey from 6 years early would have been so much easier had there been a book like this to walk me through. I don't hesitate to recommend "Help For Your Fearful Dog" to ... Read More
