Kurzbeschreibung This readily accessible text is useful to both academics and practitioners alike in the field of clinical animal behavior. It offers a framework for understanding how pheromonatherapy can be used to encourage desirable behavior in dogs and cats and also provides a fresh approach to understanding the nature of clinical animal behavior problems. The authors have pioneered the use of pheromone therapy, and are able to offer sound evidence-based advice as the culmination of many years of research and experience. The book builds an understanding of pheromones from first principles, dealing with the key concepts of stress, communication, and perception. The final section considers the use of pheromone therapy for the management of a range of specific problems.
