An aggressive dog, whether large or small, baring its teeth and growling can be a terrifying sight. Dogs, like children, require boundaries and sound training in order for them to grow into sociable, well-mannered adults with a healthy respect for their fellow beings. Here, Barbara Sykes clearly explains how to recognise an indomitable spirit and understand the causes of hostility in dogs. She advises owners how to educate their dogs sympathetically to subdue their aggression in favour of respect. The author is an experienced dog trainer and her common-sense approach to behavioural problems in dogs is successfully proven in this book by the taming of Craig.
