Overall, A Pretty Decent Book on Canine Agression., Mar 14 2006
By Dennis in Michigan - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Right a Dog Gone Wrong: A Road Map for Rehabilitating Aggressive Dogs (Paperback)
For reference, I would suggest the reader check out my other two reviews I have written to date about books on canine agression, for "Grrr!!!" by Margolis and "Agression in Dogs" by Brenda Aloff. This book is intermediate between the two -- definitely more useful than "Grrr!!!," which is esentially just a primer on basic obedience, and a much easier read than the very complex book by Brenda Aloff.My one complaint about this book is that I feel most of the exercises and training regimens are primarily geared toward dog-on-dog agression. While they might be universally adaptable to treating all types of agression, I would have liked to have seen more about dealing with other types. But, having said that, this book is not particularly expensive, and if it gives the reader even a little insight or a few tips which they can use on their own dog, it would be well worth the cost of the book. While I don't forsee using the book on a daily basis until the spine is ruined and the pages fall out, it's not the type of book which is going into the box for the local library's fundraiser used book sale, either. I guess I would advise the undecided buyer to get a copy and glean what they can from it.

great exercises for retraining, April 13 2006
By E. bunten "dog lover" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: How to Right a Dog Gone Wrong: A Road Map for Rehabilitating Aggressive Dogs (Paperback)
Having read a number of books on the subject, this is one that I have found both useful and user-friendly. (For my taste, some of the other books on the subject were too heavy on theoretical talk, others fell short of useable training exercises.)I would recommend this book in combination with 2 others for a comprehensive but concise library: Pam Dennison "Bringing Light to Shadow: A Dog Trainer's Diary," and Turid Rugaas, "Calming Signals."
These 3 work synergistically to help trainers as well as dog owners understand their dogs and develop a sensible approach to managing and rehabilitating their dogs.

Good book, but a little disapointing., Aug 27 2008
By Amber Murphy - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: How to Right a Dog Gone Wrong: A Road Map for Rehabilitating Aggressive Dogs (Paperback)
This book was very well written and had a lot of information about re-training aggressive dogs. I purchased the book because I have a leash reactive dog and wanted to try something different than what I know, and this book sounded promising. This is where the disapointment comes in. Well it does tell the reader a lot about aggression and how to re-condition your dog to realize other dogs equal good things not bad things, it says nothing about how to stop your dog from reacting in the first place. All it says is not to let your dog practice the behavior, basically by avoiding what sets them off which is very hard to do when you live in an apartment and can't AVOID the stimuli, i.e.: other dogs, as the author says to do. If it had more information on how to stop your dogs reaction, aside from turning and walking away, walking the other direction, which is not practical when you have a 100 pound German Shepherd mix on the leash, it would have been more help to me, but overall it wasn't much help. For readers who's dogs just get aggressive if a dog gets too close, this would be a good book, but if your dog is lungeing and barking at just the sight of another dog, it's just a waste of money and your money would be better spent on a trainer.
