Sue Sternberg

New Testing and Assessment Methods for Shelters and Trainers!

Sue Sternberg has been developing and refining assessment techniques for decades to help shelter workers and trainers determine the likelihood that a dog will engage in aggressive behaviors. Assessing Aggression Thresholds in Dogs includes Sue’s newest protocols based on the theory that sociability is the key predictor of a dog’s potential for aggression. In addition to a number of step-by-step tests for shelter workers to use, Sue has included a section for trainers and behaviorists for use in home visitations to better design training and management programs for their clients. 

What experts are saying about Assessing Aggression Thresholds in Dogs

I can honestly say that this book should be read by any dog owner who wants to know dogs, not just professionals seeking a means to objectively measure canine aggression.

Sue Sternberg is an amazing person. She has devoted her life to the extremely tough job of educating people about rescue work and Temperament Testing. She could have chosen an easier path, but instead, she has chosen to say all the tough stuff, some of which people do not always want to hear. Her extensive experience can literally not be matched. This book will be on my own bookshelves and will be recommended to the shelter and rescue staffs that I work with. Thanks Sue!
