That book changed my life, Moss’s life and my way to see dog training for reactive, anxious and over-excitable dogs. I didn’t know yet that would become my favourite exercise to teach to my students and my own dogs! I was watching them using an exercise that was called The Look At That.

I have applied in the past many techniques to try and help Moss but nothing really worked.
