Blurb

Behavioral problems in pets are an issue that is often overlooked - but they can have a significant impact on the quality of life of both animal and owner. In her book, the author of a standard work on animal psychology specifically highlights all facets of psychological and therefore clinically relevant disorders in animals. This book offers a unique combination of sound knowledge, practical experience and empathy. It looks not only at the most common pets such as dogs and cats, but also at horses, small mammals, birds and exotic animals. From anxiety disorders and aggressive behavior to compulsive behavior and much more, the various psychological stresses are described, their causes analyzed and explained in an understandable way. But this book goes beyond the diagnosis: the author presents effective treatment approaches - from behavioral therapy and drug support to alternative healing methods. Equally important are the preventive measures that help pet owners to recognize and avoid mental disorders at an early stage. This book is a guide for veterinarians, behaviorists, trainers and all animal lovers who want to understand and promote the well-being of their animals holistically. A book that enables a change of perspective and brings the complex world of animal psychology into focus.
