The Dark Side of Dogs
When Instincts Take Over
By Claire Lawrence

“He’s never done that before.”
“She’s always been so gentle.”
“I never saw it coming.”

Every serious dog incident has one thing in common:

The signs were there — but no one wanted to see them.

This is not a book about “bad dogs.”

It’s a book about the real dog — the predator under the pet, the instincts beneath the training, and the truth behind behaviours owners hope will disappear.

With raw personal stories and professional insight, Claire Lawrence exposes:

• How predatory instincts and aggression still live in today’s pet dogs
• Why love and training don’t erase genetics
• The myths that leave owners blindsided and dogs destroyed
• How denial costs lives — and how honest management saves them

Not every dog can be fixed.
But every dog can be respected.

For serious dog owners, trainers, and anyone ready to face the hardest truth in dog ownership — this is the book that finally says what no one else will.

”Hi, I’m Claire – founder of Reactive Rhythms, rehabilitation specialist, and someone who’s walked through fire to protect the dogs I love.

This book is the one I wish I had when I was lost, scared, and silenced by society.

It’s a wake-up call. A reality check. A love letter to the misunderstood.

Inside, I share some of my most harrowing, brutally honest stories—moments when things went catastrophically wrong with my dog, and what I learned from the wreckage.

If you pre-order, you’ll also unlock bonus materials that go even deeper into the gritty reality of living with instinct-driven dogs—and how to build a life that’s not just safe, but manageable, meaningful, and worth fighting for.

Let’s stop pretending. Let’s start understanding.”
