BOOK REVIEW

Juvenile Delinquent Dogs, Help is Here

I

In her ebook Juvenile Delinquent Dogs, Sue Brown concisely covers the many common behavior issues which, in reality, are just dogs being dogs. Reviewed by Leslie Clifton

f you are commonly called to work with one of these, raise your hand right now. A juvenile delinquent dog that is. Myself, I have one in the pipeline. I am just waiting to hear back on the behavior information submitted to my DogSmith database. Carrying on, this is one dog I desperately want to get my hands on. Any adolescent dog deserves another chance, especially this adolescent one-year-old German shorthaired pointer currently confined to a crate when he is not outside. He has been through two “boot camps.” Problems as they occur in the home have never been addressed. Would this dog be leading a different life right now if the owner had researched juvenile delinquent dogs? I tend to think so. As we know, the internet is awash with information, much of it potentially harmful. In keeping with the guiding principles of PPG, Dog Kingdom Pets could not be more delighted to carry this valuable work, Juvenile Delinquent Dogs, as an ebook, ready to go worldwide at the click of a button. And, before I forget to remind you, find your discount code here. Of course dogs are just being dogs. They do not know or understand their behaviors are undesirable (to us). Sue Brown clearly and concisely covers the many common behavior issues (according to humans) with a corresponding “how to.” Issues covered include jumping up on people, nipping - especially when excited, stealing food off counters, chewing shoes and other items, darting out the door, barking at everything, lunging and barking at other dogs, pulling on the leash, not coming when called and not listening. Readers will learn how to determine whether their

dog's needs are being met, how to use management to prevent bad behaviors, how to effectively communicate with and train their dog so he pays attention, all so they end up with a well-behaved dog who makes good choices. Technical jargon, appropriate amongst professionals, is largely not present, therefore this is an engaging read for pet owners. However, any dog trainer will benefit from this book as well. Sharing appropriate and correct information, one owner at a time, one dog at a time, is the way to keep pet dogs in their homes. Behavior issues are a top reason for the relinquishment of young dogs to shelters. Naturally I will be sharing the resource Juvenile Delinquent Dogs with the aforementioned owner, should she engage my services. More about the author of Juvenile Delinquent Dogs: Sue Brown has a reputation which precedes her. Sue is widely known for Love My Dog Training, which focuses on family pets in the Denver, CO area. Brown started her second business, The Light of Dog, in 2011 to publish books, ebooks, online training modules and other products. Brown is a Certified Dog Behavior Consultant and an active member of PPG. If you have a juvenile delinquent dog in your life, we hope you will share this resource. Make your clients, friends and family aware, wherever in the world they may live, that help is just a click away.
