andbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training, Volume Two: Etiology
and Assessment of Behavior Problems is a definitive handbook for
dog trainers, behaviorists, breeders, veterinarians, and others who
have a serious interest in dog behavior and training. Readers will
benefit from the author's twenty-five years of study and experience
with dogs as a behavioral consultant and trainer.
The vast majority of dogs exhibit at least one undesirable habit.
Most of these problems are responsive to remedial training and
brief counseling. However, some behavior problems are the result of
a more complex etiology involving adverse emotional influences,
cognitive disturbances, or pervasive behavioral disorganization. If
not properly identified and treated, such problems may lead to the
dog being removed from the home or euthanized.
Volume 2 of Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training
explores the collective causes underlying the development of serous
adjustment problems in dogs. Coupled with Volume 1: Adaptation and
Learning, Volume 2 provides a comprehensive theoretical and
practical framework for understanding the development and treatment
of behavior problems.
The focus of Volume 2 is to present and evaluate the relevant
applied and scientific literature, with the goals of clarifying
what is known about the etiology of dog behavior problems and
highlighting what yet remains to be learned. In addition, the
author introduces several alternative ways for analyzing and
understanding the etiology of behavior problems. Topics covered in
depth include:
History of applied dog behavior
Behavioral etiology and assessment
Fear, anxiety, and phobias
Separation-relatedproblems
Compulsive behavior problems
Hyperactivity
Dominance, territorial and fear-related aggression
Appetitive and elimination problems
This volume is an authoritive and thoroughly referenced text
that is written in a highly readable and enjoyable style. There are
no other applied dog behavior texts of comparable quality and
thoroughness available.
