By providing a concise, easy-to-understand guide for anyone who has chosen a fearful dog to adopt, foster, or rehabilitate for other potential owners, Beyond Flight or Fight will help many people save many innocent, confused, and overwhelmed dogs’ lives.

My Review
Beyond Flight or Fight: A Compassionate Guide for Working with Fearful Dogs by Sunny Weber was a great book. As someone who has had dogs her whole life, I can say that this author clearly knows her stuff. I have recently been considering doing some rescue work and I found this to be a great preparation resource. The narration was top quality and I was able to listen while doing house chores!
