 I'm so glad I found this bood! March 22, 2007

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.

We fostered an abused dog who was afraid of people, cars, leashes, leaving the back yard, leaving the front yard, anything new. This book was the only source that really helped. Applied her tips and advice and our foster dog blossomed and overcame her fears. She's happily adopted now and her new owner reports that she is doing awesome - loves going places and meeting people now. We didn't know if it would even be possible. If you have a shy or previously abused dog, this book really helps and her tips WORK!
