"Cara Shannon’s DVD “Bad to the Bone” represents a major step forward in the analysis and treatment of dog bite behavior.  Clear and easy to  understand, the video presentation and accompanying resource material will be invaluable to consultants in their work with families and their dogs." - Jim Barry, CDBC, CPDT-KA, author "The Ethical Dog Trainer"; Co-author, "Positive Gun Dogs"

"This DVD should be used by all people involved with dogs that get aggressive to be able to talk to others with a common language that describes the behavior and accurately gages the severity of the incident. Too often people use words like "vicious" for every aggressive event they encounter." - Ken McCort, Canid expert and behavior consultant, Four Paws Training
