About this title

From the Publisher:

In this fascinating guide to canine psychology, eminent behaviorist John Fisher reveals how the world appears from a dog’s point of view. He first traces the ancestry and inherent behavior of dogs, from their origins as pack animals related to the wolf and jackal. Comparisons are made between the wolf’s behavior and that of the dog in a human pack, explaining what the dog learns from the way that people live with him. Fisher then looks at “problem” behavior—actually just normal canine behavior exhibited in the wrong place. Written with humor and complete with a detailed examination of diet and training, the merits of different forms of punishment and reward, and an A to Z of common problems, this is an essential companion for all dog owners, trainers, and veterinarians.
