This collection expands on the original 2009 Low Stress Handling®, Restraint and Behavior Modification of Dogs and Cats book by Dr. Sophia Yin, blending Dr. Yin’s foundational material with new content, expanded chapters, and updated concepts. Designed with students in mind, these books include practical tips, clear definitions, real-life stories, and new examples not found in the first edition.

Dr. Sophia Yin’s Low Stress Handling® and Behavior Modification of Dogs and Cats Second Edition explores the “why” behind Low Stress Handling, introducing concepts such as cooperative care, behavior modification, and the latest evidence-based strategies for canine and feline handling. The complementary book, Low Stress Handling®: A Practical Guide to Cooperative Care, Training, and Behavior Modification, serves as a how-to guide, providing step-by-step instructions and detailed photos to help you effectively implement techniques that reduce fear, anxiety, and frustration while fostering trust with the animals in your care.

Together, these books support hands-on learning, while also providing guidance on client education and managing behavior cases in collaboration with veterinarians.
