| The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior (Howell Reference Books) by Howell Book House Nice book |
Nice book , not always easy to read and follow.
I lost interest in the last few pages but over all a good book. |
| The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior (Howell Reference Books) by Howell Book House Top of my list |
| What a wonderful insight into the canine mind! This book is full of actual scientific explanations of canine physiology, instinct, and culture. It is explained in a straightforward manner, without using a lot of academia. It's especially useful during early puppyhood, as it explains how the brain develops and what you can do to affect it during this critical time. |
| The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior (Howell Reference Books) by Howell Book House Useful |
| I agree with much of the theoretical information presented. It is just that too much of the book is only sentimental fill. |
| The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior (Howell Reference Books) by Howell Book House Smart |
| This is a comprehensive study that blends theory, science and applied behavior techniques--exactly what I needed. |
| The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior (Howell Reference Books) by Howell Book House Now I understand why... |
| ESSENTIAL reading for the intellectually curious about your dog's behavior. I could hardly put it down. Kept saying... "Oh! THAT'S why he's doing that!" and "THAT'S what I should be doing when...". Excellent background and context to your dog's behavior and understanding of his/her world. I have lots of dog and dog training books. This rates in the top 3. And I actually gave a copy to my dog's trainer as a gift. This is not a 'how-to' manual for training, so it should not be your first or only training book. But for those wanting a deeper understanding of the why's and what's of those things you read in the training books or hear in class, this book is recommended without reservation. |
| The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior (Howell Reference Books) by Howell Book House Product Description |
| "Quite simply this is an excellent book. It is well-written, with snatches of dry humour. It should be mandatory reading for anybody who keeps a dog or has intentions of so doing." —R. W. F. Poole, Daily Telegraph How do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works. |
