Abstract
It is essential to understand the normal processes underlying the fear response in pets, in order to explain why in certain circumstances specific behaviours emerge and what the best methods are to resolve these. This chapter looks at evaluation of the patient, diagnosis, behavioural biology of the condition, treatment, prognosis, follow-up, prevention of the problem.
