nAn easy-to-read, all-encompassing, and fun reference on all things canine from an award-winning scientist who has studied and loved dogs (and their wild relatives) for more than five decades nNo one is better than Dr. Marc Bekoff at turning state-of-the-art animal science into practical, reader-friendly information. His subjects include dog care, dog cognition and emotions, and dog-human relationships, and though he has impressive scientific credentials and much technical expertise, this is the accessible book that every dog lover should have. In concise, readable A-through-Z entries, Bekoff covers it all, including: n n- Why your dog is doing this and not doing that n- Whether dogs have human traits such as jealousy and obsessive-compulsive disorder n- Why it is important to recognize the individuality of each dog, rather than assume that any or all dogs should act or respond in the same way n- Exactly how to meet any dog eye-to-eye, nose-to-nose, and ear-to-ear to create enduring reciprocal bonds n- How tuning in to a dogs unique personality busts one-size-fits-all theories and leads to happier dogs and happier human companions n nAs the saying goes, dogs are many humans best friends and beloved family members. If thats the case for you -- and whether you are a dog lover, vet, or trainer; whether you have just brought home a puppy or are nursing a senior dog -- Dogs Demystified will answer your questions, unlock mysteries, and foster harmony and happiness for all. n nn
