The behaviour textbook that's been missing - Dr Mandy Roshier, University of Nottingham, School of Veterinary Medicine and Science, UK
This practical guide for busy veterinarians demystifies the apparently complex nature of canine behaviour while simultaneously emphasising its importance. Authored by acclaimed veterinary behaviour consultant Kendal Shepherd, the book provides practical knowledge of dog behaviour and an understanding of how to talk about it with clients. Shepherd shows how this can enhance the relationship between owner and pet and between dog and environment, including the vet surgery, as well as improve the vet's own sense of fulfilment and enjoyment of practice.
From a discussion on the true nature of obedience to stressing the importance of behavioural indicators when assessing pain and mental welfare and finally by reminding vets of their obligations under Dangerous Dogs legislation, the emphasis is on the prevention of aggression throughout.
Packed with anecdotes drawn from real-life cases, easy to read and understand, the principles explained can be effortlessly assimilated into the average consultation without the need for lengthy report-writing.

缺失的行為教科書 - 英國諾丁漢大學獸醫醫學與科學學院的曼迪·羅希爾博士
這本實用指南專為忙碌的獸醫而設，揭示了犬類行為看似複雜的本質，同時強調其重要性。由著名的獸醫行為顧問肯達爾·謝潑德撰寫，本書提供了有關狗行為的實用知識，以及如何與客戶討論這些行為的理解。謝潑德展示了這如何增強主人與寵物之間的關係，以及狗與環境（包括獸醫診所）之間的關係，同時提升獸醫自身的成就感和對工作的享受。
從討論服從的真實本質，到強調在評估疼痛和心理健康時行為指標的重要性，最後提醒獸醫遵守危險犬隻法規下的義務，整體強調預防攻擊行為的重要性。
本書充滿了來自真實案例的軼事，易於閱讀和理解，所解釋的原則可以輕鬆融入一般的諮詢中，而無需冗長的報告撰寫。
