"Veterinary technicians are in the primary and pivotal position to prevent behavior problems, protect and strengthen the human animal bond and be the catalyst for Fear Free veterinary visits. This book has been long needed and will help your hospital reach those goals. Achieve these goals and you thrive, it's that simple. This book is a must have in every veterinary hospital library. Read it and reap (the benefits)!"

"Taking the pet out of petrified...puts pets back into practices"
"There are few people with the breadth of experience as Julie Shaw to understand the importance of an integrated team approach to problem behaviour management, and even fewer who can communicate so articulately. Julie is a rare talent and this book is a "must have" for every veterinary clinic."

"I believe it will be a great resource for veterinary technicians and anyone else interested in the clinical veterinary behavior of dogs and cats." (Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, 15 March 2015)
