Download or read book Mental Illness in Dogs written by Linda Scroggins RN, MSN, CBCC-KA, CPDT-KA and published by First Edition Design Pub.. This book was released on 2017-11-27 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mental Illness in Dogs: A Guide for Trainers is directed to both new and experienced dog trainers and behavior consultants. The idea that dogs can be afflicted with mental illness is fairly new but growing. Author, Linda Scroggins had years of experience working with dogs with behavior issues when a little yellow dog named Tom entered her life and home. Living with a dog who had been diagnosed with mental illness was her wakeup call to the challenges families sharing their lives with these dogs face each day. The author's journey and eventual loss was the catalyst to developing a plan for all dog trainers who may come into contact with these special dogs. This book reviews the current methods for approaching treatment for these dogs by examining the humane hierarchies currently provided by professional organizations. The book highlights those dogs whose needs may cause them to fall outside the hierarchy and how proceeding with current behavior modification methods may harm dogs or worsen their illness. Mental Illness in Dogs: A Guide for Trainers suggests a new approach that focuses on a collaborative process between the dog trainer and other professionals caring for the dog.

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...
