Behaviour is about how stress impacts on animal behaviour and
welfare and what we can do about it, especially by using chemical
signals more effectively. This readily accessible text starts from
first principles and is useful to both academics and practitioners
alike. It offers a framework for understanding how
pheromonatherapy can be used to encourage desirable behaviour in
dogs and cats and also a fresh approach to understanding the nature
of clinical animal behaviour problems.
The authors have pioneered the use of pheromone therapy within
the field of clinical animal behaviour. As the culmination of
many years of research and experience, they offer sound
evidence-based advice on how and when pheromones can be used most
effectively.
The first part of the book deals with some fundamental concepts,
focusing on the key concepts of stress, communication and
perception. It then provides a framework for the evaluation
of problem behaviour to allow consideration of the possible role or
not of pheromonatherapy. Part 2 covers the application of
these concepts to a range of specific situations, concentrating on
conditions in which there has been most research to support the
efficacy of pheromonatherapy.
Suitable for veterinarians in small animal practice, students of
clinical animal behaviour, veterinary nurses and technicians, as
well as specialists and researchers in animal behaviour
therapy.
