I was so excited that my new book, which I co-authored with my daughter, trainer Mikkel Becker, and two of the country’s leading veterinary behaviorists, Dr. Lisa Radosta and Dr. Wailani Sung, was supposed to be released this spring.
It’s called From Fearful to Fear Free: A Positive Program to Free Your Dog From Anxiety, Fears, and Phobias , and I am incredibly proud of it — and I know it will help many pets and the people who love them. Here’s the blurb:
Written by four powerhouses in the world of veterinary medicine and behavior, this informative manual takes an in-depth look at fear: an issue that dog owners frequently encounter yet don’t often understand. Dr. Marty Becker and his esteemed colleagues deliver a comprehensive look at Dr. Becker’s Fear-Free™ program, developed on the premise that anxiety and fear can impede thorough veterinary care as well as other significant aspects of a companion animal’s life. Filled with anecdotes from the authors’ own experiences, detailed techniques, and helpful resources, this book can be a lifesaver for owners dealing with fearful dogs.
As often happens with life, we ran into some serious problems with our publisher, and the books ended up sitting in a warehouse while we worked out a deal to shift to a different publisher.
The great news is the book has a new home, and will now come out next year. As part of the deal with our old publisher, we were able to get our hands on the 3,000 books that had been piled up in that warehouse.
And we gave them all to our friends at Dogwise to sell.
