Editorial Reviews

This book is literally overflowing with invaluable, realistic how-to information about safely working with aggressive dogs. After spending much of her career working with wolves and hybrids, dog aggression must seem like a walk in the park for Nicole. We are lucky to benefit from her expertise.

Dr. Ian Dunbar

Working with aggression is dangerous. Nicole’s thoughtful, detailed and encouraging guide bravely lays out for the trainer what is required. The dog training world should welcome it.”

Sue Sternberg

Nicole has done it again – written a clear, helpful, and comprehensive book on a type of behavior problem that is all too common, and all too difficult to address. An excellent resource for trainers.
