The Family in Dog Behavior Consulting

Sometimes, no matter how good a trainer or behavior consultant you are, there are issues going on within a human family that you need to be aware of to solve behavior or training problems with dogs. There is often an intense and sometimes complicated relationship between and among families and dogs that have to be analyzed and dealt with. The author explores the relevance of engagement with families at practical, reality-limited levels. For animal behavior consultants, this text opens up new vistas of challenge and opportunity.
