Canine behavior

by Bonnie V. G. Beaver

"From the farmyard, to the backyard, and into our homes, dogs occupy a unique niche in human society. Recent scientific advances and insights into behavioral medicine form the basis of this unique resource. Written by one of today's leading specialists, Canine Behavior: Insights and Answers, Second Edition, is a resource for veterinary clinicians and students, behavioral consultants and trainers, pet care providers, and dog owners and lovers." "Canine Behavior establishes a solid foundation for understanding innate, dog-to-dog social interactions, communication, and sensory awareness, so that we humans can learn how to meaningfully and effectively communicate with our "best friends." The author's goals are to provide a clear understanding of normal behaviors and to provide the necessary tools to identify problem behaviors and their origins. Only then is it possible to successfully - and humanely - prevent, eradicate, or minimize unacceptable behaviors and build successful, lifelong relationships with our dogs."--book jacket.
