Some dogs need a little help.

Some dogs are afraid, or excited, or reactive. Dogs that dont listen and go crazy dont live the lives we - or they - want.

Fired Up, Frantic, and Freaked Out can change that. Simple steps and an accessible, conversational tone from award-winning, internationally-known trainer Laura VanArendonk Baugh CPDT-KA KPACTP make calming the agitated dog not only possible, but pleasant.

Inside youll learn how to

• Achieve change in short, simple training sessions of a minute or less
• Maximize the effects of natural brain chemistry
• Know when to call in medical help
• Clean up unreliable behaviors in both overexcited sport dogs and pets at home
• Recognize how fear, aggression, and excitement are variants of the same root problem

The conversational tone is both informative and fun  very accessible, and it feels like the reader has a consulting trainer standing at her shoulder! Bring your dog from emotional to thoughtful, and enjoy a calmer, more enriched life with your best friend.
