EditorSOCIETY OF VETERINARY BEHAVIOR TECHNICIANS"What an excellent collection of articles previously published by the Association of Pet Dog Trainers' newsletter! This book is well organized and permits the reader to select a specific topic of interest. You do not necessarily have to read it in any specific order... The wide variety of articles will certainly appeal to lay readers, professional dog trainers, and veterinary professionals. What more could we ask for?!... There is so much more to educate not only dog trainers, but also the owner and veterinary staff. I think this book would prove beneficial to be on the shelf of anyone (not only professionals) that has a keen interest in dog behavior. The wealth of information and the practical application of the subject matter will clearly be a guide to anyone interested in training their dog. We could all profit from reading this text. Happy Reading!—4.5 out of 5 paws" Mary Ellen Goldberg, BS, VMT, LVT, SRA
