"Our dogs are no longer just pets--they're family. This means, according to celebrity dog trainer Jaime Goodrich, that the way we train them needs to change. Unleashed argues that behavior problems worsen, not improve, with heavy discipline. If you instead address the source of a dog's anxiety or fear, problematic behaviors will naturally and permanently disappear. Goodrich provides techniques rooted in kindness and understanding rather than punishment and dominance. She addresses attachment in dogs--what normal attachment looks like and what it looks like when things go south. She teaches you how to identify your dog's particular coping strategy and how to identify stress signals your dog is giving you. You'll be able to recognize your dog's particular triggers and desires, and, most importantly, be able to figure out how to work within your dog's particular neurological level to make substantial change in their behaviors."--Provided by publisher
