几乎每个狗主人都有一只患有恐惧、焦虑和压力(FAS)的宠物。它们是许多相关行为的潜在原因，如过度吠叫、攻击、破坏行为和弄脏房子。他们也是人与动物关系恶化的根源，会让宠物和主人去兽医、宠物美容师或寄宿机构的旅程变得痛苦。如果不及时治疗，这些消极的经历可能会导致毁灭性的后果和永久性的伤害。不幸的是，许多好心的主人误解或忽视了情感伤害和动荡的微妙迹象，或者认为宠物会简单地“长大”。这会导致不必要的创伤和痛苦。常见的FAS诱因包括:去看兽医(即使是常规服务，如接种疫苗和修剪指甲)洗澡、刷牙或清洁耳朵。噪音;雷暴;烟花爆竹; the vacuum cleaner; construction; gunshots; or even buzzers on appliances. Less-familiar people or animals encountered on walks or near the home. Being left alone during work hours or even for short errands. Travel, including car rides. Finally, there's help. From Fearful to Fear Free is based on the groundbreaking Fear Free program embraced by tens of thousands of veterinary healthcare professionals and hundreds of thousands of pet owners (fearfreepets.com and fearfreehappyhomes.com). This is the first and most authoritative book on the subject of reducing FAS and increasing "happy and calm" in dogs. Since pets communicate nonverbally, this book will help you recognize if your pet is suffering from FAS. By knowing your dog's body language, vocalizations, and changes in normal habits, you can make an accurate diagnosis and take action to prevent triggers or treat the fallout if they do happen. You'll learn: The most effective prescription sedatives for keeping dogs calm and happy during thunderstorms, fireworks, and other stressful events. The positive steps you can take to keep your pet occupied, calm, and content while you're away at work or play. Simple, practical tactics for helping your dog learn to love going to the veterinarian's office--literally pulling you into the practice instead of avoiding it! How to easily groom your dog and give him medication. Tips to tame the chaos when guests arrive in your home or when your dog encounters other dogs and people on walks. Ways to tackle some of the common behavior issues that often have a root cause of FAS, while also improving your communication and bond with your pet. The three veterinary coauthors and one highly respected pet trainer have a combined 88 years of experience in the trenches of veterinary medicine, with specialties in behavior and training. By using their cutting-edge techniques, you'll have pets that are happier, healthier and live a longer, fuller life.
