What’s It About?

The Dog Aggression Workbook is an interactive guide for guardians of dogs who behave aggressively. The workbook presents a systematic and highly efficient and effective, positive reinforcement-based approach to understanding, assessing and changing aggressive behaviours in dogs. Strategies and techniques are described clearly and completely in a conversational style that is easy to read and understand.

Guardians will be armed with the tools they need to address all kinds of aggressive behaviour problems, while avoiding harsh punitive techniques. The workbook utilizes a behavioural approach, focusing on identifying specific problem behaviours, what evokes them and what consequences are maintaining them. It explains how to implement desensitization and behaviour replacement procedures to change emotional responses and the aggressive behaviours they motivate. Taking a global and comprehensive approach, it addresses the whole context in which aggressive behaviours are performed.

The Dog Aggression Workbook will be a useful compliment for Aggressive Behaviour in Dogs, a manual written for professional behaviour consultants as a means of increasing the efficiency and effectiveness of professional consultation. Short and inexpensive, it would make a useful adjunct to consultation.
