“Over the years I have learned about rehabbing a ‘damaged’ dog and wanted to share that information with other scared/fearful/shy dog owners. Working with a scared dog will be one of the most challenging, frustrating and rewarding experiences a dog owner will ever have. If you’ve decided that you want to not only keep your dog, but help it learn to be less fearful, you’ll find support and information here.” – Debbie Jacobs, Fearful Dogs - Karen Pryor Clicker Training Articles

“If you have an aggressive or reactive dog, know that you’re not alone—and that you’ve come to the right place. Changing your life—and the life of your aggressive or reactive dog—is just a click away.” - Managing Unwanted Behaviors – http://www.clickertraining.com/node/834
“With clicker training, you can handle undesirable behaviors in various ways—without using punishment.

(The easiest way to keep your dog from chewing shoes, for example, is to avoid leaving shoes around your dog.)” - How to Stop Unwanted Barking (http://www.clickertraining.com/node/1125)
