If you have a dog who is barking and lunging at other dogs while on leash, you are not alone. It's a very common behavior problem, even if the same dog gets along well with others OFF leash. It is also a problem with a high rate of successful treatment. What you can get from this booklet is the ability to leash-walk your dog around others, whether it's down the sidewalk or at the vet clinic, knowing that your dog will walk politely by another dog, rather than causing a scene. Methods are totally positive reinforcement.
Patricia McConnell PHD received her doctorate in Zoology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison researching dog behaviour and communications between trainers and working domestic dogs. She has a world renouned behavioural and training practice helping treat serious behavioural problems in companion animals.

It gives practical information for novice and professional trainers alike about positive ways to teach dogs how to walk by other dogs politely. It also includes tips for preventing trouble and effective methods for handling emergency situations. These humane, upbeat methods have changed many anxiety-ridden walks into relaxing, peaceful strolls.
