“Finally! An honest opinion about domesticated dog behavior! I truly appreciated all of the author's insight and explanations. I devoured this book! And I'll tell you why: the author beautifully explains how we are treating and training these dogs against their natural-borne behaviors. Despite our love and adoration of them, they are not little humans.”
If your dog is still...
-
Barking, pulling, or reacting on walks
-
Not listening in real-life situations
-
Anxious, overstimulated, or unsettled at home
-
Overreacting or aggressive toward people or other dogs
This book helps explain why those behaviors keep happening — and what actually needs to change.
Note to readers:
This book takes a different approach to dog behavior than most advice people hear or are given. Some of what you read may feel uncomfortable — but that discomfort isn't criticism. It's a shift in understanding.
Real change doesn't come from doing more or giving more. It comes from doing what actually works.
If you're open to approaching your dog differently and want to see lasting improvement, this book may change how you understand your dog — and your role entirely.
A Dog Behavior Book That Explains Why
The American Dog Epidemic helps dog owners understand why behavior problems develop, why training may not be working, and what can lead to lasting change. It explores dog psychology and difficult dog behaviors, including reactivity, aggression, anxiety, barking, pulling, and overstimulation.
