5.0 out of 5 stars Quintessential Text for Behavioural Medicine!, March 10, 2000

By	Francis M. Fenderson III (Richmond, VA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Karen Overall, whom I affectionately call the Behaviour Goddess, has allowed her passion for her work to spill over into what could have been a dry tome on the emerging field of veterinary behavioural medicine.

Almost every topic (from epidemiology to pharmacology) is exhaustively covered and she has clearly indentified where further research is warranted.

A must read for any veterinarian, behaviourist or pet owner searching for more information about their pet's normal and abnormal behaviours.

Also recommended: Culture Clash by Jean Donaldson, Don't Shoot the Dog by Karen Pryor, The Toolbox by Terry Ryan

4.0 out of 5 stars Finally not something made for the novice!, June 4, 2001

By	Nikole Hunter Gipps "Owner of NHG Consulting" (Concord, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have been looking for good textbooks on this subject for quite some time, as most texts don't have much to offer me. (I have a BS in Animal Science with extensive work in behavior.) The text seems clearly written and well organized. I also like the way the author talks about where we lack on each subject - where more reseach is needed. A very good book for the scholar type. But defintely not for newcomers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential reading for anyone serious about animals, June 13, 2001

By	E. TeSelle "pawsplus" (Nashville, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have consulted with Dr. Overall in the treatment of a dog we rescued who has OCD, and in addition, I have also read her book cover to cover three times. There are a lot of books on this topic -- both for veterinarians and for lay people -- out there, but this one is the best. Dr. Overall, unlike a number of vets (even veterinary behaviorists) truly understands the nature of dog behavior -- and the importance of positive reinforcement in shapingn it. She is my hero, and I recommend this book to anyone who has a serious interest in animal behavior.
