There's so much information in this book and Linda Case did an amazing job of organizing it in a way that wouldn't be overwhelming for the reader. The most unique aspect of the book is the format. Each section compares cats and dogs so it allows the reader to develop a greater understanding of how they are different and how they are similar.The behavior and training described in the book promotes understanding, communication, and will strengthen the bonds we have with our companion animals.There are review questions in the book which will be extremely helpful for professionals. Linda also helps illustrate points with excellent case studies. There are also numerous references and reccomended reading.Regardles of how much you know about dogs and/or cats, I promise you will come away with a new understanding. Linda knows her subject matter and writes in a way that is easy to understand yet extremely comprehensive.I've highlighted and marked up my copy so much that I've had to order a second copy.-- Pam Johnson-Bennett, CABC, author of "Think Like a Cat"
This book embodies the reference source that most primary care companion animal veterinarians need in order to better guide their clients who are struggling with dog or cat behavior issues. I found it to be well organized and efficiently cross-referenced for the type of searching most veterinarians are wont to do. There were medical treatment options and at the same time a realistic emphasis on exercize and reward-based training. This book will NOT disappear on a veterinaran's book shelf!Carl L.
