Book Review: Stress in Dogs

Stress in Dogs - Learn How Dogs Show Stress and What You Can Do To Help
by Martina Scholz & Clarissa von Reinhardt
2006
137 pages
ISBN: 1929242336
Available at Dogwise Books


This short volume very succinctly describes what happens when an organism (humans/dogs) are under stress and how that stress reaction affects the long term health and mind of the organism. The authors spend many pages describing the many symptoms of stress. They then go on to tell 4 cases studies about dogs who were under stress and how the stress affected the dogs, their behavior and their families.

The best part about this book was the section of stress related symptoms and the list of things a dog owner can do to help reduce their dog's overall stress level.
