Inside this book, Phenix addresses the often-taboo topics of reactivity and aggression in canines, speaking to owners honestly and candidly from the vantage point of her own experiences, successes, and even heartbreaks. Using reward-centered, scientifically based techniques with a focus on the all-important human–canine bond, Phenix introduces owners to training methods to help their dogs recover from fear, anxiety, and aggression in collaboration with a professional trainer or behaviorist.Inside The Midnight Dog Walkers, you'll find stories and practical examples from the author based on aggressive dogs she's trained and owned; behavioral warning signs that owners should recognize; definitions of different types of aggression and why they occur; tips on how to handle a potentially aggressive or aggressive dog; the author's force-free training philosophy and how she applies it with her clients to effect positive changes; popular myths and misconceptions about training these "grumpy growlers"; how to open communication and cooperation between owners, trainers, and veterinarians; and more.Learn how to strengthen the bond between you and your dog, and help your dog become calm, well-adjusted, and happy, with The Midnight Dog Walkers!
