The process of rehabilitating previously abused or naturally skittish dogs can be challenging, as many pet owners discover. Peggy Swager’s experience with adopting two mill dogs from a local rescue center highlights this difficulty, as traditional methods proved ineffective in addressing her new pets’ fears.
Swager’s innovative approach, drawing from her background in horse training, yielded remarkable results. Her book offers dog owners and trainers fresh, proven strategies for addressing various fear-related issues in dogs, including anxiety around people, aversion to crates, and discomfort during car travel.
The book covers several key areas:
1. Understanding the root causes of timid behavior in dogs
2. Techniques for managing aggression
3. Guidance on adjusting one’s tone of voice for better communication
4. Comprehensive information on creating a safe and loving environment for fearful dogs
This resource is particularly valuable for:
– Average dog owners
– Rescue organizations
– Dog trainers who have struggled with fearful dogs
By providing a thorough exploration of these topics, the book equips readers with the necessary tools and knowledge to help their canine companions overcome fear-based issues and develop a sense of security and trust.
