BOOKS AND DVDs

We have not listed any books on working with canine aggression. If your hound is showing signs of aggression, we strongly encourage you to contact a Certified Animal Behaviorist, Veterinary Behaviorist, or Certified Pet Dog Trainer who specializes in aggression. Aggression is serious and needs to be dealt with accordingly to avoid injury to humans, other animals, or the pet itself.
