Synopsis

"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 TelegraphHow 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.

Despite there being high levels of repetition throughout the book, and despite some of the research being outdated (it's......more

Goodreads review by Sylvia on August 31, 2015

As a canine psychologist, this book gave me loads of insight. Quite technical, with many details and diagrams of how the different parts of the (dog's) brain works. I still use it as a reference book. However, the average dog owner might find it a bit too in-depth in this respect.......more

Goodreads review by Trevor on July 01, 2021

I bought this book after reading about Bruce Fogle in The Sunday Telegraph and was well aware that the book is 30 years old. My wife and I bought a puppy during Covid and I read a book on the subject by a celebrity trainer called Steve Mann, I think. What absolute garbage. I wish I'd discovered this......more
