Low Stress Handling Restraint and Behavior Modification of Dogs & Cats: Techniques for Developing Patients Who Love Their Visits

This book has been better than I expected. I am a balanced trainer so I am not 100% positive but this has good quality information with out a constant stream of mis-information about balanced training.

This is a wonderful guide to training dogs the compassionate and scientific way. It really helps me understand my dogs and to be a more humane and effective leader with them. It offers and explains clear strategies that make sense and that work. I recommend this book to everyone who works or lives with dogs. It will change your thinking about old school attitudes of dominance and control and offer more positive effective techniques that enhance cooperation and communication with your four legged family.

Though spendy this book and DVD are great to have for learning and reference. I appreciate the "realness" of the DVD and the gentle, firm and positive approach. Does your vet treat your pet the same way? I am now equipped to better evaluate who cares for my pet and greatly encouraged that what so many of the "dominance" gurus do can be so harmful. If you cringe when you see dogs being jerked around by choke chain collars, zapped with electrical charges, yelled at, scolded and other wise "worked over" because their guardians feel their authority is threatened, then this is for you. Positive reinforcement and just good ol' consistent, positive, and upbeat attitude can work wonders. Dr. Yin shows how to use these positive attributes to help your pet become the confident companion you want. I also recommend any book by Patricia McConnell who recommended this book on her website.

while half this book is dedicated to handling and restraining pets for medicinal treatment, a lot of what this book contains is helpful to owners of fearful, anxious, and aggressive pets. it gives you insight into how to know what your pet is thinking by the way that they act and express themselves. i have had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Yin in person as well, and she is a wonderfully skilled vet and pet trainer.

The book and videos are so helpful. I have always enjoyed Dr. Yin's lectures at conferences. Now there's a way to take her home. I'd like a compilation of several of the video segments to run on a loop in my waiting room. Anyone at any level can benefit from her behavior approach.

I had the privilege to meet Dr. Yin, the author at a veterinary conference when this book first came out. Her book is a wonderful compilation of the best handling techniques available to minimize the stress of a veterinary clinic. Every technique is photographed and the common pitfalls are shown too. The book is a bit expensive, but worth every penny.

Arrived promptly and had so many good pictures for restraint

On time and as described

The definitive bible on low stress handling. I have learnt so much by reading this book. Hundreds of photo's demonstrate the correct and incorrect techniques and explain in great depth the why's behind the methods. As a cat groomer and cat behavourist I would recommend this book to anyone who works with animals closely including vets, groomers, animal rescue centres. It is beautifully written and every page had me delving deeper into my own journey and methods. http://www.catbehaviourist.com

Good but heavy reading in places. As always areas that could be debated but excellent book for those studying the topic. It is sad to loose such a thought provoking author.

I just love the book. It's easy to read and there are a lot of hints how to do stuff right, which changes one's perceptions of every day situations in a vet clinic.The photographs are superior. Everyone who has read books about behavior of animals or studied that topic knows how hard it is to capture certain body-postures. With these photos one recognizes the body position or face expressions of the animal right away, so it becomes easy to identify them in real life.I am not sure how many of the shown methods I will be able to implement in my every day work - of course it is hard to learn such techniques from a book alone and it might need some guts to just give it a chance. However it already changed my perception of every-day-routines and educated me in body-language. So for me it's definitely worth the money!

This book should be mandatory to any Veterinarian and animal professional.
