Patricia McConnell believes traumatized dogs with behavior problems should be appreciated "as individuals who can be healed through skill and compassion." In her work as an animal behaviorist, she has helped countless dogs find a sense of safety that profoundly enhances their (and their owners') lives. In The Education of Will, Patricia shares the powerful personal story of how her volatile border collie helped her confront longsuppressed traumas of her own, and how the two troubled beings found ways to heal together. It's an uplifting true tale of fear and courage, shame and grace.
