Full Description
A Professional's Guide to Feline Behaviour is an invaluable resource for the feline professional, yet written in such an accessible way that it would be of interest to anyone who shares their life with a cat and wants to gain a deeper understanding of their behaviour.
The book is presented in easy-to-navigate sections, each packed with practical advice and the colour illustrations, tables and graphics throughout make it approachable for every type of reader.
What this guide offers:
A greater understanding of cats and how to meet their needs.
How to recognise and mitigate negative emotions and deal with challenges that cats face both at home and particularly in the workplace.
How to analyse feline behaviour accurately, with a view to designing a tailored behaviour modification plan.
Comprehensive information on common, and not so common, problematic feline behaviours.
The fundamentals of learning theory, with step-by-step training guides.
Real-life case studies, accompanied by behaviour plans that integrate clinically proven methods to help manage or resolve a range of behaviour issues.
Written by Caroline Clark, a Registered Clinical Animal Behaviourist and RCVS listed veterinary nurse, this well-researched book draws from her knowledge and professional experiences, offering a unique insight into feline behaviour.
