 Getting a Grip on Aggression Cases August 24, 2009
Companion Dog Training Center
I was expecting considerably more from the title. The book is very basic and should be used only by the greenest beginner. Much of the book is common sense. There are a few considerations that, if employed by someone with little experience, can result in injury to the practioner as well as the dog. Save your money and intern with a trainer or behaviorist that has both the educational credentials and experience to properly present this very complicated subject.
 Comprehensive Guide for Working with Aggressive Dogs June 11, 2009
Christine S. Hibbard (Seattle, WA)
Yet again, Nicole Wilde has written a book that should be a "must have" in any dog trainer's library. Nicole's experience and background give her a unique perspective on the subject matter and I appreciate how she takes into account the human factors of working these types of cases, not just the dog's behavior. If you're working with aggressive dogs, I can't recommend this book highly enough. This has become required reading for the dog trainers and interns at Companion Animal Solutions.

 Very good resource April 13, 2009

I thought this was a very good resource if you are a trainer. It provides a guide through a difficult and often misunderstood behavior issue. My only complaint is that, as a trainer, I was looking for some techniques to help work through aggression.
A must-have for anyone who works with aggression cases April 2, 2009

Once again Nicole Wilde offers her readers an in-depth, information-packed, 'trainer-in-your-pocket,' style book for anyone who works with (or plans to work with) aggression cases.
Nicole holds nothing back as she literally walks with her readers through practical handling techniques, safety considerations, information on equipment while sharing her own personal experiences with cases. Also included is a comprehensive resource directory for forms, training products and more. A top-notch must-have book!
