Description
Assessing Aggression Thresholds in Dogs Using the Assess-a-Pet Protocol to Better Understand Aggression by Sue Sternberg. Developed over decades, this comprehensive guide provides new testing and assessment methods for shelters and trainers. Dr. Sternberg's protocols are based on the theory that sociability is a key predictor of aggression in dogs. The book includes step-by-step tests for shelter workers and a section for trainers and behaviorists to use during home visitations, helping design effective training and management programs. By understanding an individual dog's aggression threshold, you can improve the odds of successful adoptions and create safer environments for both humans and animals. This practical resource is essential for anyone working with dogs, from shelter staff to professional trainers and behaviorists.
