Format:Paperback
Concentrating on canine and feline behaviours, this text is a valuable source of reference for the pet behaviour therapist and the animal science student (as I once was). Divided and subdivided into easily manageable sections, this text explains the behaviour as normally seen, progressing onto behaviour deviations and then to tried and tested methods of behaviour rectification (some acceptable, others not). It includes many marvellous references to studies conducted by those such as Borchelt, Voith, Houpt and Overall.

Finally not something made for the novice!
5 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback
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!

Essential reading for anyone serious about animals
13 Jun 2001
Format:Paperback
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.

Quintessential Text for Behavioural Medicine!
10 Mar 2000
Format:Paperback
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
