Overview
What if aggressive behavior in dogs could be changed without confrontation, punishment, or fear? Turning Fierce Dogs Friendly, 2nd Edition offers a revolutionary, science-driven approach to resolving canine aggression safely, humanely, and effectively. First introduced in 2018, this updated edition builds on the proven success of Constructional Aggression Treatment (CAT), a protocol developed through academic research under the guidance of Dr. Jesús Rosales-Ruiz. Author Kellie Snider, MS, presents a refined version of CAT that eliminates the stress-inducing outbursts sometimes seen during early implementations. By intervening at the very start of the aggression sequence—before a growl, lunge, or bite—trainers and dog owners can prevent escalation altogether. The updated process is safer, calmer, and just as effective, producing dramatic and lasting behavior change without the use of force or outdated aversive tools.
Turning Fierce Dogs Friendly, 2nd Edition is essential for dog owners facing the heartbreak of an aggressive pet, as well as professional trainers seeking a reliable, research-backed alternative to traditional behavior modification techniques. With clear explanations, real-world case examples, and step-by-step guidance, readers will learn how to identify meaningful reinforcement for their dogs, understand the root of aggressive behavior, and foster trust that leads to real transformation.
