Book Description
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
