Intended for dog owners who want to learn more, Canine Behaviour in Mind provides practical ideas that can be incorporated in daily interactions with dogs. Canine Behaviour in Mind presents advice on behavioural change in achievable and creative ways. It examines how the way we live and work with dogs may need adjusting to promote positive behavioural change in the animal as well as better welfare. Case studies with experts are included to guide readers in real-world situations. Scientific research is combined with trainer experience to ensure that the book has science at its heart and provides content of interest to a wide range of dog owners and professionals. Equine Behaviour in Mind by the same editor has garnered some unique reviews. Canine Behaviour in Mind follows the same format, relating dog behaviour to dog ownership.

Bridging the gap between the science of animal welfare and the animals and their owners, this book gives essential advice to practitioners worldwide on how to improve the welfare of all animals. Down to earth and intensely practical, the book describes the fundamentals of changing human behaviour to benefit animal welfare and how this can be applied in real life situations. This book contains: * voices from international experts and those working on the ground, on challenges presented and overcome; * advice on making change happen in practice, by influencing animal owners, users or communities, and the systems they are part of; * the work and life experience of animal welfare practitioners, as a profession; * essential information on how to translate the science of animal welfare and human behaviour change into real life for maximum impact; * resources to use from low-, middle- and high-income countries, e.g. case studies, influencing skills, best practice, hints and tips. This is an important text for animal welfare advisors, researchers, welfare auditors and veterinarians, and key reading for all those concerned with animal welfare in non-governmental organisations, in governments, in industry and at universities.

Intended for people who work with horses and for owners who want to learn more, Equine Behaviour in Mind provides ideas for practical ways that changes can be incorporated into daily interactions with horses. This book advocates a mindful approach to working with horses, encouraging the reader to think in a horse-centric way. Academic behavioural research is used to underpin understanding of horse behaviour and changes that can be made to positively improve horses' lives. The aim is to provide both the theory behind behaviour-minded horse management and the practical application to enable impactful changes to be made. Real world examples and case studies are provided to highlight these points. Horse behaviour is discussed in a range of contexts, including breeding, training and competing. A behaviourally minded approach to teaching riding, to medical and dental check-ups, to rehabilitation and rescue, and to driving change for horse welfare in both developed and developing countries is also covered. Equine Behaviour in Mind will enable readers to think critically in an objective way about how they manage and work with their horses.
