Summary

Does your dog lunge and bark at other dogs or unfamiliar people? Do you find yourself walking in the middle of the night to avoid problems and feel isolated with your problem dog? This audiobook is designed to help the guardians of reactive dogs realise that they don't have to be alone and that there is hope and help available. Written by a dog guardian that has been through the difficulties of realising their dog is fearful, Fight or Fright? will aid struggling guardians in accessing the help and support they need to make life better for them and their dogs.

This’s my first audible book, I started this book while travelling a long journey and found very easy to listen to, loads of information, very well explained, going to the point on the subject, useful advices. If you got a reactive dog this is the book you need to understand your dog and help him in a very kind way. I believe the author wrote this book soulful as she own a reactive dog herself. Brilliant book

As a professional I love finding books that my owners can listen to. Methods must be ethical and agree with my non aversive ethos. Jay hit the nail on the head sharing her experiences as a reactive dog owner who has extended her knowledge by becoming a professional. Disappointed with the narrator, didn't enjoy how he read the book.

A reactive dog owners manual

If you are looking for a book that gives step by step instructions for "fixing" a reactive dog, this is NOT it. What it is is a book that delves into how dogs learn, how genetics and the environment affects them and why these are important when dealing with reactivity. It is a well-researched and well-put together book.

Unfortunately the narration was not up to the same standard for me - I found sentence and word emphasis to be wildly out on occasion, which was a shame as it often occurred at important points in the book. The book itself though is very good and recommended for anyone who wants to understand reactivity.

It's so hard to understand one of those dogs that bounces around and seems aggressive or the owner who hysterically shouts to 'put your dog on a lead' like their life depends on it.

Firstly it was amazing to not feel like I am the only one who has a reactive dog and the information was well presented, supportive and informative for those with reactive dogs. And it should be listening for anyone with a dog so they can understand we are not hysterical just super aware of our own dogs threshold.
