Summary

Be (more) aware!
 
Here is your road map to evaluating, managing and modifying aggressive behavior in pet dogs. Beware of the Dog offers a wide-ranging look at all types of aggression and the way these troublesome behaviors develop. It explains the latest protocols for evaluating and dealing with the problems of aggressive dogs from classical conditioning to operant conditioning, and prescribes management strategies that really work. Written in an easy-to-understand style that meets the needs of trainers as well as the motivated dog owner.
 
Pat’s new book should be on the desk, not the bookshelf, of every professional studying or working with aggression cases. It will become your “go to” reference manual for all case management and behavior modification protocols. Your personal copy will quickly become dog-eared, highlighted, bookmarked, smudged with fingerprints, annotations and filled with post-it notes. Niki Tudge, President of the Pet Professional Guild and author of People Training Skills for Pet Professionals 
 
Full of engaging anecdotes that illustrate Pat’s approach, which is steadfastly force-free and humane.  Jean Donaldson, Founder, The Academy for Dog Trainers and author of The Culture Clash, MINE and FIGHT
 
Beware of the Dog has become my number one resource for dealing with aggressive dogs. It’s filled with up-to-date, dog-friendly scientific methods that every trainer should know, in an easy-to-understand format that pet parents can understand. If you train, live with, or know someone with a dog who displays aggressive behaviors, this is the book to get! 
 
Robin Bennett, CPDT-KA, author of All About Dog Daycare, and co-founder of The Dog Gurus
 
This book provides a good overview of the causes of aggression as well as the techniques used to manage and modify that unwanted behavior. It will be a useful resource to the dog owner struggling to understand WHY their dog is behaving this way and HOW to help their pet in a positive and constructive manner.Leslie Sinn, DVM, CPDT-KA, Founder of Behavior Solutions for Pets, Hamilton, VA
 

 
Pat Miller has written an ideal response to a culture that has become sensitized to problems of dog aggression. She provides a detailed critique of the futility and in-humaneness of strong-armed dominance tactics that still attract followers and provides sound antidotes in the form of rational, scientific and effective approaches that strive to enhance the communication between people and dogs  to everyone’s benefit.
 
Randall Lockwood, Ph.D. Senior Vice President, ASPCA
 

 
Pat Miller has given us the ultimate positive blueprint for helping dogs with aggression. She dispels the common myths about aggression, provides guidance for navigating what can be a frightening world for many of our pets, and helps to bring peace back into the homes of families living with aggression.  This is Pat Miller at her finest!

    “Explore[s] the ingenious outsider cooks, the obsessive impulses, and the raging gustatory dishes behind America’s newest food capitol.” —Mike Thelin, commentator for Unique Eats and co-founder of Feast Portland 
     
    The Mighty Gastropolis goes deep behind the scenes to explore the kitchens, personal lives, and mindsets of Portland’s celebrated cooks to chronicle, with humor and panache, a people’s army of maverick chefs, artisans, obsessives, farmers, food carters, and plucky pioneers who have created a risk-taking, no rules food town unlike any other: one that is exporting its culinary ethos, innovations, and sensibilities to America’s gastronomic power zones in New York, LA, Chicago, and countless other cities that are coming under its spell: a spell and culinary imagination that, according to Bon Appétit Restaurant and Drinks Editor, Andrew Knowlton, emanates from “a city thriving with creativity, passion, and an anything-goes attitude for all things edible.”  
     
    In this book, you will learn, ingredient by ingredient, experiment by experiment, dish by dish, how Portland’s culinary cognoscenti have re-imagined and reconfigured restaurant culture for modern times and established a new paradigm for how to succeed in the fiercely competitive, no-chops-barred worlds of both hi- and lo-fi dining. The result, as Thomas Lauderdale, founder of Pink Martini, explains, “is a hilarious, heart-warming, punk-rock portrait of a daringly creative Mecca showing the rest of America a better way to eat—and live.”  
     
    This is a landmark contribution to the literature of food. And, perhaps best of all, the book’s recipes are roadmaps to rarified states of gastro-nirvana.
