Last night, I read through the chapters in section 1. I have to say that I think that each chapter is going to be hit or miss with me.
For example, the chapter called “Chemistry and Constraints: How We Choose Our Dogs” wasn’t that enlightening. Jean even admits that there isn’t a lot of research about how we choose our dogs, and she confesses, “So, using a wholly rigorous approach — mulling it over in the shower and chatting with some dog friends — I have generated the following list of dog choice factors.” At least she’s honest, but in a book that throws Pavlov, Premack, and Pinker in the title, I figured the conclusions would be based more in research than mulling it over.
On the other hand, I really enjoyed the chapter called “Observation vs Interpretation.” She contrasts the behaviorism school of thought versus other interpreters, and I’m pretty sure she’s implying folks like Caesar Millan in the later case. It’s pretty clear from the subtext that she doesn’t like the whole “the dog is displaying his dominance” school of thought.
In the end, I think I’ll end up marking the chapters that are worth reading, and then taking the bibliography in the back and doing some further reading. This book is almost like a series of blog posts strung together, and although that’s not really what I look for in a book, it’s probably a good starting point for learning more about what we really know about animal behavior science.

It’s a myth that you should rarely bathe your dog. Show dogs are usually bathed weekly and are in fantastic condition. Bathe to your heart’s content. The key is to brush often (daily for some dogs) to keep the natural oils distributed in the coat. The other key is that when you shampoo, rinse thoroughly and dry thoroughly. In the case of a long or thick-coated dog this usually means using a dog blow dryer (which doesn’t deliver heat – very important, only powerful air) and drying right down to the skin (brush as you blow to “fluff” the dog). Nails are easier to trim after bathing as they’re softened up. There are lots of “self-service” bathing stations in pet stores these days if you don’t want to make a mess of your own bathroom or don’t want to use the yard. You can use the following products to bath your dogs: Pet Aromatic Woodsy Woof Dog Bath, Booster Bath Plastic Dog Bath, Indoor – Outdoor Pet Shower

The Diagnostic Imaging Atlas by Odyssey Veterinary Software is the complete client education source for all veterinary hospitals. As an author and educator, the 3D anatomical illustrations and images are of the highest quality for continuing education. The program provides a quick illustrative guide for all veterinary conditions for client communication in a very easy-to-use format.
DIA is a powerful client communication tool. It is great to explain some of the more complex medical issues and procedures that otherwise would be over the clients head, ultimately affecting client compliance. DIA’s illustrations bring the problems and procedures to life, which help clients make educated decisions on the pet’s medical care. The illustrations are life-like and do not appear to shock clients but rather educate them on their journey through basic anatomy, disease processes, and therapy.
The system has been a wonderful and powerful client education tool. It works well not only to educate clients about general health care issues such as parasites, and dental care, but it ties in nicely with digital PACs system to help explain radiograph, ultrasound, and endoscopic images. Clients are more likely to allow further diagnostic testing.
Veterinary medicine has never seen 3D anatomy like this before. Spin a heart 360 degrees, give it heartworm disease, show a client a transparent view of a normal heart while it beats or one with Dilated Cardiomyopathy, let them watch an intervertebral disc protrude or a cruciate ligament actually rupture and more. The heart files actually play a virtual normal heartbeat and an arrhythmic beat for the Dilated Cardiomyopathy example. The files have such a high resolution that you can use the zoom tool to magnify into small areas of each file.
The DIA software for equine will available soon on Februari 2010. This revolutionary program allows practitioners to better illustrate medical conditions to clients through amazing animation, video content, virtual anatomy files and much more. The program also includes a complete library of digital radiography and ultrasound images and you can even import your own patient’s clinical images for comparison.
This cutting-edge software provides an exceptional resource for equine client communication. Beside the ability to illustrate pathologies on your computer or laptop, you will also be able to print or email additional information to clients on the conditions you discuss every day.
