Meet Venus, a beautiful white mixed breed. Part Akbash, part Lab, part clown, part escape artist, part guard dog, part wild dog ... she had more personalities than Sybil, the most famous psychiatric patient in the world. Meet Zeus, the kind and gentle Alaskan Malamute who was the love of her life. Venus and Zeus loved hiking and skijoring in the mountains. They enjoyed swimming and boating together. They shared a life most dogs dream of – until everything changed. With a diagnosis of canine compulsive disorder as her singular clue, Peggy Tibbetts embarked on an investigation into every detail of Venus’s life as it unraveled. What began as a case study of her dog’s mental disease led to a hard lesson in the golden rule of dog behaviorists. There are no bad dogs, only bad people. Crazy Bitch is a complex love story between two big dogs. Venus and Zeus will make you laugh while they break your heart.

Crazy Bitch Peggy Tibbetts 9781940016016 Books Reviews
The writer was kind enough to send me a copy since I am dog trainer.First, I really admire someone who can write about such an emotional, and challenging issue. I knew what the conclusion would be by page 20, but only threw the book across the room once! (no bad people only bad dogs, that needs to be run through a logic department, dogs can be bad, just like people).
I picked it up again and read forward, I actually finished it and my patience for this type of book is about zero. this gendra is stuffed full of vanity press books, which are just annoying to a pro trainer.
I recommended it to a bunch of dog training friends, it makes a great cautionary tale for people that get cross bred dogs with less than domestic breeds. Its not a common situation, but I see a few a year, and wish the owners could spare them selves the pain. Now I have a book they can read , so maybe they will not go down this road.
It was hard for me to actually relax and read the book, I got so wrought up, which means it was well written. Bottom line lesson, don't keep a dog you cannot not trust 24/7/365. also don't fight with neighbors without a lawyer!
A dog with mental illness and bullying neighbors create a perfect storm in this compelling non-fiction dog tale.
Yes, you read that correctly mental illness. This book is about a dog with mental illness. It is also about a dog lover who adopted that dog when she was still a pup, did everything she possibly could to make sure that dog had a good life, yet faced bullying by neighbors who made that dog's life a living hell.
I almost did not read this book. It sounded heartbreaking and, truth be told, I'm not good with animal stories.
Actually, this IS a heartbreaking story. Once I began reading, I couldn't put it down.
Crazy Bitch is not just another warm fuzzy tribute to a dog memoir. Tibbetts takes us on a journey of love and beyond-the-norm commitment to a dog. She looks for solutions until they simply run out. Along the way, she consults veterinarians, dog trainers, dog friends and does exhaustive research to rehabilitate her dog, Venus.
Going the extra mile turns into miles and miles, especially when neighbors - involved with the Tibbetts in town politics conflict - decide to take out their frustrations on the dog.
You see, Tibbetts blogged about her experiences with Venus. The neighbors, reading the blog, knew just how to target Venus in their efforts to bully the Tibbetts family.
Crazy Bitch is a great read. Not only is it an excellent look into the world of canine mental illness, but also in coping with bully behavior. Tibbetts writes in a style that draws you in, as if you're a friend. Within a few pages, you'll find yourself caring more than perhaps you'd like to about Venus and cheering on the author in her quest to provide her dog with the best life possible.
OK guys, stop thinking this title is a biography of your former girlfriend or ex wife.
It's the author's seduction of the reader into an intimate membership in the Tibbetts family of humans, dogs, cats, friendly neighbors, subhuman neighbors, corrupt police, corrupt politicians and Dogpark friends amidst small town dynamics.
The harassment from evil neighbors and supporting cast of corrupt cops and politicians is a horror story itself and could easily be titled "Crazy Neighbors" in a novel because their behavior is stranger than fiction. At many points I forgot I wasn't reading a page-turner, can't-put-it-down novel.
Dogs are the only animals that develop such a complex relationship with man. Peggy thoroughly documents the interwoven relationship of Lab/Akbash mix, Venus, and Zeus, a powerful but gentle Alaskan Malamute. It includes their love for each other and moments of terror and aggression. Their experiences with other dogs, family, and crazy, taunting neighbors help us understand they are "not just a dog", but a valued family member. The dogs thoughts are shared via Peggy's incisive interpretation of body language, eye contact, nose and ear movement, etc. Dogs "talk" to us. Humans are not good listeners. We should all study this story to better understand the K9 partners in our lives. Peggy's perspicacity provides us an inner view how dogs interact and communicate. She shares that this requires an understanding of each breed's traits and that they have a "job to do" to keep them happy, while serving their masters. This helps readers understand more about their own animal pack.
Peggy and her husband, Tod, had a lot of tough times as Venus's mental illness progressed and the neighbors and cops got crazier. Admirably the Tibbetts were up for the task and altered their lives to accommodate the dogs they loved. They were lucky to have some great vets to help them.
Venus's CCD presented many unknowns and unpredictable behaviors. Undaunted, Peggy would dive into research mode and develop new approaches. Many humans would put the dog down based on the vet's doubts about a favorable quality of life. Not Peggy and Tod.
Some readers may think Peggy gets too bogged down with a plethora of ongoing canine interactions. But read on and you will discover the value to yourself in better understanding your own dogs and different triggers that alter their behavior. Certain behaviors are guided by their breed background and differ greatly.
Someday I hope to meet Peggy and Tod and give them a big hug for what they did for their own dogs and what they have done to help us understand and improve our own dog-human relationships. This should become a textbook for canine behavioral studies. It's certainly a guidebook into the love dogs offer us, other canines, and other animals. My life is richer from Peggy's well crafted true story.
I had a yellow Lab companion that was a super bird hunting dog and an even better Search, Rescue and Recovery dog for eight years. His last search, five weeks before cancer took him, was finding two drowning victims in a submerged vehicle. Thinking back, I learned more from him than I could ever teach him. You can too. Sometimes we don't listen well.
A must read for anyone who cares about the canines in their life, past, present, or future!
I think it should be a movie. Touching, real, raw and a bit scary! If you love dogs, people, life... you will enjoy this read!
