WHAT IF MY DOG HAS SERIOUS
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS?
If your dog has serious behavioral issues, including any of the issues below, you should consult a professional dog trainer or animal behaviorist:
  • Aggression toward other dogs
  • Aggression toward people or children
  • Leash Aggression: aggression toward other dogs when the dog is on-leash or behind a fence or window, but not present when the dog is off-leash.
  • Separation Anxiety
  • Extreme fearfulness or shyness
  • Excessive barking
In treating these behavioral problems, I have found the following resources helpful:
  • For separation anxiety: I'll Be Home Soon  by Patricia McConnell
  • For leash aggression: Feisty Fido by Patricia McConnell
  • For fear and fear-based aggression: The Cautious Canine by Patricia McConnell
  • In general: Behavior Problems in Dogs by William E. Campbell
