Behavior Advice for Clients
|
Item Number: VLLB044
Presented in a way that helps owners understand basic concepts of learning, training, and normal behavior in their pets, Behavior Advice for Clients also provides answers and solutions to the most common behavior problems in dogs and cats. Accompanying the book is a CD with all articles in PDF format to allow you to print individual handouts for clients.
Compiled by board-certified veterinary behaviorists Dr. Gary Landsberg and Dr. Debra Horwitz, who also wrote the majority of the handouts, this 416-page book and CD is aimed at helping veterinary practices develop, enhance, or expand their behavior consultation services. The authors have added and updated content and have organized the book into five general sections - behavior modification and techniques, cat behavioral issues, dog behavioral issues, kitten basics, and puppy basics - to facilitate ease of use.
Veterinary practices can utilize this new resource for:
-
Continuing education. By treating this book as a user's manual, veterinarians and the veterinary healthcare team can refresh their knowledge and learn new behavioral concepts, making this an excellent professional development tool.
-
Quick reference. The book provides the veterinary team with easy access to practical and relevant information and helps them determine which handouts are best to send home with clients.
-
Treatment planning. The book is designed to help the veterinary team implement preventive strategies, manage emerging behavior problems, and develop treatment plans for existing problems.
-
Client education. Individual handouts can be printed out from the CD, allowing veterinarians and the practice team to confidently supplement their verbal advice with high-quality take-home information to boost compliance and ensure the best possible outcome.
Behavior is an integral part of wellness and often an early sign of disease in pets. When behavior problems arise, they can break the human-animal bond and, all too frequently, result in pet relinquishment. The authors have dedicated most of their veterinary careers to helping veterinarians and pet owners understand pet behavior and educate both groups on how to improve and resolve unwanted behaviors in their pets. They hope that Behavior Advice for Clients will allow veterinary practice teams to expand their use of the ClientEd Online handouts and help many more owners and their pets.
