Shaw and Martin, animal behavior technicians, bring together nine chapters that outline the behavioral, mental, and emotional needs of dogs and cats. Veterinary technicians and veterinarians mainly from the US discuss the role of the veterinary technician in animal behavior, canine and feline behavior and development, the human-animal bond, communication and the animal behavior team, learning and behavior modification, problem prevention, behavior modification techniques and applications for specific behavior disorders, and introductory neurophysiology and psychopharmacology. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)

Canine and Feline Behavior for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses provides the veterinary technician with a solid foundation in behavioral medicine. Designed as a daily resource for interacting with and educating pet owners, the book familiarizes readers with the behavioral, mental, and emotional needs of dogs and cats. Canine and Feline Behavior for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses offers a complete guide to the technician’s role in behavioral preventive services and how to assist the veterinarian with behavioral intervention.

Covering the roles of animal behavior professionals, normal development of dogs and cats, and the human-animal bond, the book includes correlations from human mental health care throughout. The book encompasses learning theory, preventive behavioral services, standardized behavior modification terms and techniques, and veterinary behavior pharmacology.Canine and Feline Behavior for Veterinary Technicians and Nurses is an essential resource for veterinary technicians to realize their full potential and become a pivotal component of the behavioral health care team for canine and feline patients.

Recenzijas

"Veterinary technicians are in the primary and pivotal position to prevent behavior problems, protect and strengthen the human animal bond and be the catalyst for Fear Free veterinary visits. This book has been long needed and will help your hospital reach those goals. Achieve these goals and you thrive, it's that simple. This book is a must have in every veterinary hospital library. Read it and reap (the benefits)!"

 Dr. Marty Becker "America's Veterinarian" "Taking the pet out of petrified...puts pets back into practices"



"There are few people with the breadth of experience as Julie Shaw to understand the importance of an integrated team approach to problem behaviour management, and even fewer who can communicate so articulately. Julie is a rare talent and this book is a "must have" for every veterinary clinic."

Daniel S. Mills BVSc PhD CBiol FSB FHEA CCAB Dip ECAWBM(BM) MRCVS European & RCVS Recognised Specialist in Veterinary Behavioural Medicine



I believe it will be a great resource for veterinary technicians and anyone else interested in the clinical veterinary behavior of dogs and cats.  (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2015)
