by Emma Parsons, APDT, NADOI

When Emma Parsons, canine behavior consultant, discovered that her own dog was aggressive, she developed innovative and effective strategies to calm, alter, and re-shape his reactive displays, and those of her clients' dogs.

Now with more than 40 clear exercises, presented in an easy-to-follow "training recipe" format, you'll learn how to: desensitize your dog to approaching strange dogs; grab your dog's collar without getting bitten; teach dogs to perform canine calming signals on cue; use your own body language when under stress as a cue for your dog to remain calm...plus many more creative and effective uses of managing behavior through positive reinforcement and clicker training. This book is for trainers that have some experience training dogs and using a clicker. Click to Calm discusses the following issues:

• Clicker home management, how to clicker train
• Laying the groundwork, foundation behaviors
• The process of clicking with an aggressive dog
• Canine interaction, a foreign language
• Clicker management in multiple dog households
• Treating a dog that is aggressive towards people
