Fired Up, Frantic, and Freaked Out: Training the Crazy Dog from Over the Top to Under Control (Training Great Dogs) Review: Wonderful book! - This is a really great book and I would highly recommend it! I adopted a dog from the humane society that came from an abusive background and he was very, very stressed for the for several months. He would constantly pace, become inconsolable if I so much as left the room to take a shower and jump at every little person or dog that walked by. The stress was really starting to take a toll on his health. In combination with a Thundershirt and T-touch, the techniques in this book have really helped him. He has transformed from this jittery, high-strung dog to a happy, relaxed dog in about six months. It does take a lot of dedicated work, but this book teaches you step-by-step. My dog loves his relaxation mat now, it has become kind of like a security blanket for him. I take it to the vet with us and when he sees it, he knows to lay down and self-calms at this point. Again, this type of work does take time and you can't push your dog too fast. I have seen such a positive difference in him that I would highly recommend this book to others. The techniques in this book are great, but the writing is also simple, conversational and easy to read. The book isn't too long-about 150 pages. My dog really responds well to clicker training and this book is clicker based, so be sure you have one. If you dog is not already clicker trained before you buy this book, the author gives you clear instructions on how to "load" the clicker so a click has meaning to the dog. Review: Great book for any dog owner - My dog has been attacked several times in the neighborhood and has become dog reactive to dogs he doesn't know. We are in intensive training and he is well trained at this point and will sit/ stay or lay down on command, but still freak out if other dogs bark at his or come at him wanting to say hi. So I was looking for a different training approach then what I had used so far. This book teaches the human to teach the dog how to "think for himself" and make the desired choice. Using treats and the clicker as rewards, the dog learns that every time he makes a good choice something good happens. I have used the clicker method for four weeks now and seen great improvement in my dog's behavior. I think it also has helped me to be more consistent and very clear in my expectations: It's a Yes/No kind of principle. He either did it or he didn't. So he either hears the click or he doesn't. The author uses great examples and lots of humor, so it is a very easy and quick read. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #106,294 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #55 in Dog Care & Health (Books) #64 in Dog Training (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (985) | | Dimensions | 6 x 0.4 x 9 inches | | Edition | First Edition | | ISBN-10 | 0985934921 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0985934927 | | Item Weight | 8.8 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | Training Great Dogs | | Print length | 177 pages | | Publication date | January 5, 2013 | | Publisher | Aeclipse Press | ## Images ![Fired Up, Frantic, and Freaked Out: Training the Crazy Dog from Over the Top to Under Control (Training Great Dogs) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61Ups9RF0NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful book! *by A***A on March 31, 2014* This is a really great book and I would highly recommend it!

Timing is everything when it comes to clickers and I think the beginning of the book is rather confusing even though I knew where she was headed. What I especially liked about the book and I wish she had talked more about it, is your dog doesn't have to be a snarling, aggressive dog to be freaked out. Mine, for instance, simply cannot contain himself when he sees people on the street or when they come to the house. He just has to jump all over them and let them know how glad he is to see them. It takes him about five minutes to do this and then he is fine. I'm planning to try her approach to see if I can get him to settle down. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2612392-fired-up-frantic-and-freaked-out-training-the-crazy-dog](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/2612392-fired-up-frantic-and-freaked-out-training-the-crazy-dog) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
