A bestselling author, practicing veterinarian--director of the Animal Behavior Clinic at Tufts University School of Veterinary Medicine, no less--and passionate animal advocate, Dr. Nicholas Dodman's pioneering work in the field of animal psychology has made him a favorite with admiring colleagues and "problem" pet owners worldwide. His first two books, The Dog Who Loved Too Much and The Cat Who Cried for Help, presented alternative treatments for undesirable pet behavior that, prior to advancements in animal psychology, were treated with severe training methods or, worst case, euthanasia. Now, in Dogs Behaving Badly, Dodman addresses 26 of the most common canine behavior problems and offers practical treatment plans that focus on understanding what your dog is trying to communicate through his behavior--which, according to Dodman, is the key to effectively treating our pets. Arranged alphabetically and incorporating case studies as well as the most recent discoveries made in animal psychology, this exceptional guide covers a wide range of perplexing problems, including aggression, barking, compulsive behavior, "X-Files" (unexplainable behavior), yawning, and zoonosis (the transmittal of disease from dogs to humans). Also included is a thorough appendix of behavioral modification techniques as well as invaluable information on drug therapy and how to recognize when your dog requires professional help. Informative and extremely practical--right down to the easy-to-use A-to-Z reference format--Dogs Behaving Badly proves that "when it comes to caring for man's best friend, Dr. Dodman is the best friend we have." --Stefanie Hargreaves
From Library Journal
An international expert, Dodman (veterinary psychology, Tufts Univ. Veterinary Ctr.; The Dog Who Loved Too Much, LJ 2/1/96) sets out to increase awareness of canine behavior problems and what can be done to treat them. He offers a practical approach and is quick to remind us that many perceived "problems" are normal behaviors for dogs. Using examples from his own practice, he presents suggestions and case studies with refreshing humor. He focuses on understanding what a dog is trying to communicate through its behavior. Many of the concerns discussed here are similar to those experienced by humans: aging, separation anxiety, irrational fears. An appendix offers step-by-step programs that may be used to address specific behaviors. The book is organized in an easy-to-follow A-to-Z format and will be welcomed by dog lovers and trainers. Recommended for all libraries where interest warrants.?Deborah Emerson, Monroe Community Coll. Lib., Rochester, NY
