Riassunto

No one knows dogs better than author and psychologist Stanley Coren and no one writes so well about their personalities and temperaments. This new book distills his many years of expertise in both canine and human behaviour into a fascinating and highly readable guide to how your dog's individual personality influences everything he does and hence, his relationship with you. Packed with the very latest scientific research and leavened with Stanley Coren's trademark fund of stories and anecdotes, WHY DOES MY DOG ACT THAT WAY? is above all a practical guide which will provide every dog owner with the key to greater understanding of his or her dog. The book explains the specific traits of numerous popular breeds and examines how this affects the way they react in and out of the home, with other dogs, with people and with children. It also looks at variations within breeds and at the behaviour patterns of many mixed breeds which will have inherited a cocktail of characteristics from their parents. And it includes a fun, comprehensive and easy-to-follow multiple-choice personality test you can do with your dog at home which will reveal your dog's innermost secrets and help you to understand what makes him tick, enabling you to fine-tune your training to suit both your dog and you.

Dalla quarta di copertina:

No one knows dogs better than author and psychologist Stanley Coren, or writes so well about them. WHY DOES MY DOG ACT THAT WAY? distils his many years of expertise in both canine and human behaviour into a fascinating and highly readable guide to understanding what makes your dog tick.
Recent scientific discoveries have shown that dogs are much more complex than their ancestry as domesticated wolves might make us think. Coren explores which breeds are more dominant, affectionate, cooperative, independent or even potentially dangerous, applying his reseach to mixed breeds as well as to pedigree dogs. He includes a step-by-step test you can do at home to assess your dog for traits such as confidence or nervousness and, most excitingly, reveals techniques which will allow you to turn your pet into a superdog! New evidence also examines what leads some dogs to heroic behaviour such as saving human lives.
With this book as your guide you will not only discoer why dogs act the way they do; you will learn how to predict the behaviour of your own dog and how best to interact and communicate so that your dog also understands you.
