Review by Kathy Lyon

The logical step-two from Volume I (Adaptation and Learning), this volume follows with the answers to the question posed by Volume I: how do we fix it?

This book covers behavior assessment, fears and phobias, attachments and separations, excessive behavior, hyperactivity, aggressive behavior toward other dogs and toward humans, territorial aggression, social competition, appetite and elimination problems, and cynopraxis.

This volume provides a comprehensive theoretical and practical framework for understanding the development and treatment of behavior problems. In addition, the author introduces several alternative ways for analyzing and understanding the etiology of behavior problems.
