Pam's book "How to Right a Dog Gone Wrong" helped lots of people with their reactive/aggressive dog but left many city dwellers wondering how to do the work in their crowded urban areas.

"Civilizing the City Dog" gives you the tools on how to do the work with your dog and hopefully calm your reactive dog.

Pam addresses how to prepare before you go out on many of the exercises - either by yelling at the TV or whistle training a recall with your dog. How to handle doorbells and elevators, walking on the street, how to practice with other dogs, and much more. Pam also covers those 'oh oh' moments that you may not have prepared for too.

If you live an urban area without suburbs close by, this is a must have book for you and your dog.

Pam Dennison has done an excellent job of outlining step-by-step how to work successfully and safely with aggressive dogs in a difficult setting. The best part of the book are the many excellent photographs that clearly show each technique being executed in the environment. If you have a dog with aggression issues, this is the book for you. - Carol Byrnes, CPDT

CIVILIZING THE CITY DOG: A GUIDE TO REHABILITATING AGGRESSIVE DOGS IN AN URBAN ENVIRONMENT is a fine pick for city dwellers who hold aggressive dogs in urban places. Pamela Dennison and Jolanta Benal address the special training needs of such animals, offering concrete training tactics and details for owners of such animals and making for a reference any urban library strong in pets and dog training will want.
