All adopted racing greyhounds find life as a household pet a radically new experience. If a dog has behavioral problems, the transition is even more challenging, both for the animal and the new family. This book offers insights and commonsense advice for those who have adopted, or are considering adopting, a fearful, shy, or aggressive dog. The author's greyhound, Jesse, initially hid his behavioral aberrations. Soon it became apparent that Jesse suffered from Fear Aggressive tendencies and Separation Anxiety. He required special handling and training by someone willing and able to complete the rescue. Elaine Webster shows how she and her husband Blake helped Jesse become a loving addition to their home. This is their story, and it could be yours.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Jesse's Tale: Overcoming Fear Aggression and Separation Anxiety in an Adopted Greyhound: How to Care For and Train an Adopted Racing Greyhound with Behavioral Problems (Paperback)
What an amazing "Out of the box" description of what could be expected and how to train adopted Greyhound with behavioral problems.Elaine Webster does it with concise and easy to understand steps toward successfully managable relationship between adopted Greyhound and the owner. She uses her own trial and error experiences so we could relate on a personal level. She incorporates History and professional guidelines to educate the reader. The knowledge gathered reading the book can be implemented in more than just Greyhound adoptions; it can be helpful to the owner of any pet.I enjoyed the book and would recomend it to all.
