About this listen

Some dogs need a little help.

Some dogs are afraid, or excited, or reactive. Dogs that "don't listen" and "go crazy" don't 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.

In this book you'll 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; and 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 listener 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.

Didn't think I'd enjoy it as much as I did, being a dog trainer. 😁

Real good!

Methods described were useful, ethical and positive reinforcement/reward based. The book was nicely read, the narrator made it easy to listen to. The author is a qualified dog trainer and uses Karen Pryor methods in her training. She also has a reactive dog herself so she's speaking form personal experience too. A good read.

Good methods, nice to listen to

like it a lot. the book is very short and i think an audiobook isnt the best way to assimilate all the info as inhad to take notes. i would recommend a ebook or physical book.

very informative
