I'll take a look at the books you recommended.
Brenda's pulled good info from other sources and popped them in a book.

that is just fine and I have no difficulty looking at her stuff and using what I can. Just did not want you to think she hangs the moon when I know she got taht other side. I did not want you to get to a class and be in the mess I was. Fore armed is prepared.

Ok you need to give me a little more detail on this dog. Age and what is it up to?
if it aggression got a few more really ood people and books worth the read but I not tossing out na,es and titles before I know it it actual aggression or just flaky wild behaviour.

I just picked up a new title today that is the prestep to control unleash as we just are not ready for that one no matter what I try with this girl.
You know giving him the choose to sit then get help is a great thing nad yet another thought...check if he can not get on the couch on his own is he in pain somewhere that may make it hard to sit and he would rather not?

just a ??? as sometimes it is physical in why a dog does what it does.
Example greyhounds just wold rather not sit it physically hard for them.
Guys with bad hips some rather not down. You work around it. Just a thought.
