Dog-keeping may be as old as hunting, grunting and cave-painting,
but keeping domestic dogs in family homes is a complex business.
One family may lavish attention on their dog while another
virtually ignores theirs. One person within a family may be a great
trainer while another, within the same household, may be
inconsistent or incompetent. Written with clarity and humour, ""A
Modern Dog's Life"" offers a new approach to owning and training a
dog, drawing on the latest research on dog behaviour and the
author's expertise as a vet and animal behaviourist, to explain why
dog's behave they way they do. The book takes the time to explore
the challenges for the modern dog (and their owners) while
exploring what motivates dogs, how to train them effectively, and
how to meet their needs for fun and exercise. In short, it is the
thinking person's book for dog lovers. It will appeal to every dog
owner, vet, trainer or breeder that is genuinely interested in dogs
and wants to understand why they behave the way they do. ""A Modern
Dog's Life"" also explains how our own behavior can be mystifying
to dogs, and establishes why dogs may never comprehend some of our
habits. It examines features of dog management that many owners
struggle to get right - and sets out some blunt home truths about
the realities of keeping a dog. Ultimately, ""A Modern Dog's Life""
is for anyone who wants to understand more about their dog. Its aim
is to help you to become a better dog-watcher, team-player,
care-giver, companion and life-coach by knowing when and how to
intervene. Although 'dog books' abound there are few that address
why dog's behave they way do in a scientific yet accessible way.
This book provides true insight into dog behaviour offering
practical tips and advice throughout.
