Written by the author of the bestselling Small Animal Veterinary Nerdbook, this book and DVD set teaches veterinary professionals, groomers, shelter workers, and other animal care professionals how to handle and restrain animals correctly through behavior modification that does not involve coercion, dominance, or other negative training methods.

*Explanations of what you think you're doing right but may actually be doing wrong
*Three hours of video clips with voiceover narratives that show correct and incorrect handling procedures

*Be able to implement the most up-to-date handling techniques
*Learn how to restrain animals correctly through behavior modification that does not involve coercion, dominance, or other negative training methods
*Increase your efficiency because your patients will willingly comply with procedures
*Stop perpetuating behavior problems in patients
*Create a safer environment for you and your team with fewer bites, scratches, and back injuries
*Improve the bond between you, the pet, and the client
