About this title

Synopsis

Explains how to interpret dog behavior and describes how an owner's emotions and body language affect his relationship with his pets

Reviews

In explaining the complexities of canine psychology and human interaction, Milani provides excellent information on special problems, such as depression, fear, aggression, boredom, and isolation. Charming, realistic views of people through a dog's eyes reveal the effects of behavioral and emotional states on relationships. Unlike training books, this focuses on interpreting canine body language, assigning motives, and developing an effective response. Since little has been published on this topic, this will be of interest to students of animal health and behavior. Written with repetitious examples in a continuous style that tends to require reading of the entire book, this is unsuitable as a reference resource, and may not appeal to the average dog owner.
