Solving Common Behavioral Issues in Dogs and Cats: Practical Solutions for a Happier Pet (2nd Edition, EPUB)

A problem-by-problem guide for owners whose dog or cat has habits they cannot live with. Each chapter takes one issue, such as aggression, separation anxiety, house soiling, destructive chewing and scratching, constant barking or meowing, fear and phobias, and resource guarding. It begins by looking for the root cause instead of treating the symptom, then lays out step-by-step responses. The book also explains socialization, when to call a professional and how to keep behavior healthy over the long run.

Second edition, revised and expanded.
