Dog psychology based on science. Even as an experienced dog sitter, I learned a lot.
Its not enough just to feed, brush and a few short potty walks.
Bored dog will get destructive. One of many solid problems with fixes you can actually acomplish.

A dog that I've been caring for during the last six months has been experiencing some fear issues that I've been trying to address. This book has helped me greatly in getting some answers to those problems and has become my go-to guide for other ways to help him be a very happy dog!

I only read the 1st bit because we ended up having to bring our dog back because he didn't like our toddler at all. However what I did read was amazing and made so much sense. I highly recommend this to anyone with a fearful dog.

This is a nice book, lovely as a paperback and has a lot of information for dog guardians about how their dog might be feeling. If you're looking for neuroscience, this isn't the book for you but if you're looking a a beautifully presented book on helping your dog with care and kindness - it's perfect.

I recently adopted a 5 year-old fearful dog. Although I've had dogs all my life I've never had a fearful one before. The authors of this book have developed a program to help owners, veterinarian staff and shelter employees utilize techniques designed to ease a dog's fears. The program would be most successful if everyone in the dog's life used it. (Note that it's a service marked (SM) program, so veterinarians have to actually take a course and become certified before they can use the Fear Free designation.) The book is useful and it would be wonderful if more dog professionals would take advantage of the program. But for a comprehensive book on fear based behaviors, with a wealth of information and suggestions for the owner of a fearful dog, I highly recommend "Beyond Flight or Fight" by Sunny Webber.

A great tool in understanding your fearful dog’s behavior
I read Dr. Becker’s book with great anticipation. The subject matter couldn’t be more on point. As a handler and tester/observer of therapy dogs, this book helped me fill in the blanks of my thinking and understanding of fearful dogs. The book ought to be required reading in vet schools and distributed at all vet conventions. The book teaches the owner the importance of “positive punishment”. When you try to understand a dog’s fear, you can help them overcome it and turn the fear into the exact opposite, confidence. All vet clinics should be as pet considerate as Dr. Becker’s. This is a great book for anyone who loves dogs.
