Animal experts propose solutions to problem behavior in ground-breaking essays, as well as providing guidance on the relationship between pets and children (including the arrival of a new baby), "rage" syndrome in dogs, how to rehabilitate rescue dogs and cats, plus advice on legal and welfare issues.

Download or read book Behavior Problems in Dogs written by William Campbell and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 1999 with total page 338 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Publisher's note: Due to the age of Behavior Problems in Dogs, this printing was created from a scanned copy of the book. The result is the print quality is slightly reduced, but still very readable. All veterinarians and most dog owners should have this one! Here is the book veterinarians refer to when solving challenging behavior problems. Correcting problem behavior begins with understanding what caused the problem in the first place. Problem solving includes understanding what is going on inside the dog's head and learning how human interactions can cause or worsen the problem. Humane, efficient, and effective ways of dealing with negative behaviors. "Not only is Bill Campbell's Behavior Problems in Dogs a book for those who want to know what goes on in the problem pet's furry little head, it also explains how the owner's and/or other people's interactions with the animal may cause or worsen negative displays. Campbell then shows readers armed with these crucial basics the most humane and efficient ways to resolve those problem behaviors. In a world in which so many books focus far more on a particular training method rather than giving owners a solid understanding about why any negative behavior came about in the first place, this book remains a classic." Myra Milani, DVM Author Dogsmart ..". What Mr. Campbell has to say about the species canis is, in general measure, applicable to all our patients. Anything the animal doctor can do to "know and predict" the patient better is twise positive - it helps the diagnosis and protects the diagnostician... I highly recommend it to all veterinarians as well as to some of their clients." James H. Rosenberger, DVM Veterinary Economics Magazine

What reviewers are saying...

MY PET WORLD
“There aren't many books out there with 1,000 photos of dogs (and also wolves) expressing themselves. You'll see signs of mild stress, which range from a paw lift to lip licking to blinking. A yawn may simply mean a dog is tired, or indicate stress. Stretching can also be a sign of stress. Dogs are constantly communicating non-verbally. This book is a must for anyone truly interested in translating what canines are saying.” Steve Dale

This book was released on 2012-10-11 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stress and Pheromonatherapy in Small Animal Clinical Behaviour is about how stress impacts on animal behaviour and welfare and what we can do about it, especially by using chemical signals more effectively. This readily accessible text starts from first principles and is useful to both academics and practitioners alike. It offers a framework for understanding how pheromonatherapy can be used to encourage desirable behaviour in dogs and cats and also a fresh approach to understanding the nature of clinical animal behaviour problems. The authors have pioneered the use of pheromone therapy within the field of clinical animal behaviour. As the culmination of many years of research and experience, they offer sound evidence-based advice on how and when pheromones can be used most effectively. The first part of the book deals with some fundamental concepts, focusing on the key concepts of stress, communication and perception. It then provides a framework for the evaluation of problem behaviour to allow consideration of the possible role or not of pheromonatherapy. Part 2 covers the application of these concepts to a range of specific situations, concentrating on conditions in which there has been most research to support the efficacy of pheromonatherapy. Suitable for veterinarians in small animal practice, students of clinical animal behaviour, veterinary nurses and technicians, as well as specialists and researchers in animal behaviour therapy.
