 Encouragement and Useful General Info April 8, 2007

There is a lot to like about Deborah Wood's book. She has an obvious compassion for dogs who are shy, and shares the story of her own timid dog, as well as others. Wood gives tips on how to make the shy dog's everyday life easier (for example, keeping a regular routine), and gives examples of body language that indicate fear, which is invaluable to owners. I liked the brief section on what specifically to watch for when training a shy dog, and the suggestions on games and fun activities. My only wish for this book is that it had more specific step-by-step information on what to do for shy dogs in specific situations, for example, when visitors come over, or when the dog has to visit the vet. But all in all, the book should be very helpful and encouraging to owners of shy dogs as well as those who rescue and foster dogs.

We recently adopted a dog, from the south, who had been in very abusive living situations and was incrediby timid. She hid from us, in the house, she panicked at every sound or person she encountered outside. I was very worried that we may have made a mistake. This book helped me feel so much better, just reading that other people have gone through this same thing and come out the other side with happy healthy dogs. The advice in this book and the sharing of others experiences has made the process much easier for us. I particularly appreciated the stories from other dog owners that are included. I would strongly recommend this book for anyone who is adopting a dog from a shelter or rescue organization!

Tons of great and useful ideas from someone who's been where I am now, with a timid, scared rescue dog. I have used lots of the suggestions in this book, and have, more importantly, been reassured that my dog isn't hopeless, that she is wonderful and deserving of some help to overcome all her many fears.

This is the 3rd book I have purchased to help my shy dog. He is a rescue that had been terribly abused and was reticent to be around people. This book gave terrific advice and he now is beginning to trust.

Interesting book and helpful in understanding fear in dogs.It stresses the responsibilty of ownership and controlling your dog. It drives home the point that dog problems are a continual thing that requires daily work. Good reading.
