"More than 4.5 million people are bitten by dogs each year. Canine aggressive behavior--from growling and nipping to outright biting--is frightening, dangerous, and a source of major concern and worry to dog owners and victims alike. If your dog is sometimes a frightening menace, you finally have a valuable resource: Matthew "Uncle Matty" Margolis and Mordecai Siegal's GRRR!: The Complete Guide to Understanding and Preventing Aggressive Behavior in Dogs. GRRR! enables responsible dog owners to identify and control aggressive behavior and to put into practice dog expert Matthew Margolis's maxim, "Get rid of the problem, not the dog." Embodying Margolis's training philosophy of "Love, Praise, and Affection," GRRR! offers comprehensive and proven advice on how to cope with aggressive dog behavior. The authors identify ten distinct categories of aggressive behavior, describing each one and explaining why it occurs, and also include a unique puppy personality test as well as tests for aggression used atMargolis's National Institute of Dog Training. With this knowledge, dog owners can identify and correct specific aggressive behavior. A special section focuses on children and aggressive dogs, with an emphasis on how to prevent being bitten. Throughout, Margolis and Siegal exhibit their true concern about aggression in dogs and demonstrate their deep understanding of both dogs and dog owners. Highly informative, GRRR! Helps ensure that dogs remain our best friends."
