ARE YOU BITING OFF MORE THAN YOU CAN CHEW?

Introduction from Pamela Dennison:

I have to warn you. This is not a “touchy-feely, warm and fuzzy” book. Running safe and successful aggressive dog classes is hard. This book will ask you many questions about your own creativity, sensitivity and skills - as a trainer, a confidant, and a mind reader to both dog and human. I will be asking you to be honest about your limitations and your expertise.

Just because you want to do something, doesn’t mean you can (or should). I always wanted to be a runway model, but at 5 feet tall and usually about 5-10 pounds overweight, it just wasn’t going to happen.

My tone may seem a bit blunt or snippy, but it isn’t meant to be that way. However, it is meant to make you think, really think about all that’s involved in working with aggressive dogs, leading an aggressive dog class and help you decide if you should run such a class. This will require a great deal of thought, soul-searching and planning on your part.
