Every year thousands of dogs are euthanized because owners reach the end of the line in trying to solve behavior problems which might have been prevented in the first place.  With the wide range of helpful material available to owners today, to say nothing of the trainers who specialize in specific problem behaviors, such a final solution should rarely be needed.  First-time or experienced owner, from minor problems to serious aggression, whatever your choice of method, there is help available. All veterinarians and trainers should have this one!  Solving a behavior problem often begins with an understanding of how it came about in the first place.  Bill Campbell tells you what is going on in your friend’s head, and then goes on to explain how your interactions with your pet may cause or worsen the problem.  He presents humane, efficient, and most importantly, effective ways of dealing with these negative behaviors.  This is the third edition of a classic, extensively revised and updated with the latest concepts and techniques!
