Description
This best-selling, practical book on behavior therapy offers easily-accessible information in a user-friendly approach. With this essential
handbook, veterinarians don't need to be behavior specialists to provide optimum care for clients with behavior problems. The 2nd edition
provides at-a-glance solutions to common behavior problems, offering updated information on preventive and basic counseling advice, as
well as new material on the link between genetics and behavior. All treatment protocols have been drawn from and text and compiled into
a convenient appendix in the back of the book. Staff responsibilities and the team approach to behavior counseling are also discussed.
