SUMMARY: Anecdotes about running a dog behaviour counselling practise.
AUDIENCE: Wannabe small animal behaviour therapists.
REVIEW: I was a little disappointed with this one.
From the title, I was hoping it would give me a comprehensive tool kit on running a dog behaviourist practice (à la Nicole Wilde, with “So you want to be a dog trainer”). Instead, I found that the anecdotes inconsistently switched from shallow to specific, with little practical value.
I was a little uncomfortable with some strong assertions on some of still disputed points (you guessed right: the old dominance demon), without backing these up with more than personal anecdotes.
So I don’t know, maybe I should give it another chance? All I know is I didn’t really get much out of it.
