About this ebook
For thousands of years, dogs have established themselves in the homes and hearts of humans, coming to be viewed almost exclusively as loyal, friendly, and obedient... which is why it is often so alarming and unexpected to owners when a dog attacks.

In this captivating work of non-fiction, Bryan Bailey, whose credentials include over thirty-five years of both studying and teaching the influence of wolves over modern dogs, sheds light upon the instincts that trigger aggressive behavior- and what can be done to prevent it.

Praise for Embracing the Wild in Your Dog
This book represents much more than a simple training guide. There is an undeniable power and beauty to the author's musings as he weaves into the text vital lessons learned from his mentor during intense survival training in the Alaskan wilderness. A firm response to currently accepted dog training methods.
~ Kirkus Reviews
Rarely does a book come along that so positively mesmerizes me that I read it from start to finish in a single sitting. Yet that is exactly what I did with Embracing the Wild in Your Dog by Bryan Bailey. Bailey's work is truly worthy of the attention of others and, in my estimation, of an award or two! If you are a dog owner, this one is definitely worth your while.
~ Patricia Reding, Reader's Favorite Reviewer and Award
Winning Author
Overall, Embracing the Wild in Your Dog is captivating, well-written, and very informative. It allows people to come to a better understanding of dog behaviors, how dogs originate from the wolf, and why they continue to portray many of the same survival mannerisms today. It also points out how our misperception of our pet dog as a small, furry human is completely incorrect.
~ Portland Book Review
Embracing the Wild in Your Dog is a wealth of insight from a vastly experienced dog trainer. While not a training manual, when setting out to train your own 'puppy pal' or 'furbaby', this is a valuable book to help you to perhaps understand why your dog loves your kids, but goes berserk when the neighbor boy shows up.
