As a trainer and someone who deals with aggression between her own dogs, lemme say this: Aggression in ANY form is not welcome in my house. The last time my female tried to kill my other dog for absolutley no reason was the day that she learned that I am capable of ending her life with my own hands. When I say fight, I mean alpha's 4 canine teeth sunk into the skull of my beta, who is screaming for her life. My offending dog and I had a true life 'coming to jesus'(luckily she was on leash & choke chain) as a result of her ***t- starting ways. I e-collar stimulated her on level 10 AND suspended her off the ground by (the neck) until she let go of my other dog, and held her there until she almost blacked out. Eyeballs bulging, she looked at me like "DONT KILL ME! I WONT DO IT AGAIN!" I put her feet back on the ground. She willingly went to her kennel and didn't come out for almost 3 days. I love my dog and I regret that I had to take the actions that I did, but in a real fight, lives are at stake and there WILL be consequences for deadly behavior. She has not repeated the actions that landed her in trouble, and I think it actually helped our relationship as her loose-cannon behaviors have cooled greatly since that fateful night. I treat fights like the extreme danger that they are, and in my house extreme actions lead to extreme consequences in a way that my dogs can understand. Dogs are physical creatures, they understand physical consequences, and I just don't think that's how they view it in San Fransisco. For example: I am astounded that citronella is, but two leashes (one for each dog) is not part of Jean's "Fight Kit" Really? C'mon Jean. My "Fight Kit" includes 2 dominant dog collars, 2 leashes, 2 choke chains, 2 e-collars, not citronela and dishes for banging. Her kit may work for a Yorkie that squabbles with a Chihuahua, but not for 2 working dogs who are trying to kill the other. I wish she would include photos & life-changing stories of real fight victims, both human and canine. Jean doesn't talk about the extremely real consequences of real life dog fights, and I think she should have. If you have real working dogs with real aggression, I suggest the great advice on Leerburg.com's many articles on the topic, and for god's sake please be prepared at ALL TIMES and treat your fighter like the danger that they have proven themselves to be. I let 2 of my co-trainers with more than 80 years combined experience read pages 80-85 and they all shook their heads in disagreement. Jean doesn't believe in corrections. She says behavior modifiers such as leash corrections, startles, electric shocks are harmful to dogs, but doesn't go on to say why. Newsflash! In the end, LIFE is harmful! We all learn from the good, the bad, and mostly the inbetweens, and dogs are no different. Take her "let's do it the positive way" with a grain of salt.
That being said, "FIGHT!" is now a must for my library. It helped me greatly and I am sure I will re-read it many more times. If you have a pomeranian who fights with a chihuahua, and have access to a trainer who has access to many stable dogs, this book will do you a lot of good. If you have 2 Malinois who are fighting, shame on you and go straight to Leerburg for your information. If you are a canine professional that deals in aggression, please read this book. You'll be glad that you did.

Informative book but not so much for the individual
