Format PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Veterinary Behavior and Welfare Specialty: Canine Behavior, Animal Welfare, Veterinary Ethics DESCRIPTION ----------- This groundbreaking veterinary text revolutionizes the approach to canine handling and care by introducing consent-based methodologies that prioritize the dog's autonomy and emotional wellbeing. Drawing from contemporary animal welfare science, behavioral psychology, and ethical veterinary practice, this comprehensive resource provides veterinary professionals with practical frameworks for recognizing, interpreting, and respecting canine communication signals during clinical procedures, training, and daily interactions. The book challenges traditional dominance-based paradigms and offers evidence-based alternatives that reduce stress, improve patient cooperation, and enhance the human-animal bond. Through detailed case studies, behavioral assessments, and step-by-step protocols, readers will learn to identify subtle indicators of consent and refusal in dogs, implement low-stress handling techniques, and create clinical environments that support voluntary participation in veterinary care. The text explores the neurobiological basis of fear and stress responses, the long-term health implications of coercive handling, and the ethical considerations surrounding animal agency in veterinary settings. This essential resource bridges the gap between theoretical animal welfare principles and practical clinical application. By adopting the consent-focused relationship model presented in this text, veterinary professionals can significantly improve patient outcomes, reduce workplace injuries from fear-aggressive responses, and establish more trusting relationships with both canine patients and their caregivers. This forward-thinking approach represents the future of compassionate, scientifically-informed veterinary medicine and positions practitioners at the forefront of progressive animal care.
