Meet Your Dog
“Based on the latest findings in the field of canine cognition and behavior, this book is an invaluable resource.” —Hal Herzog, author of Some We Love, Some We Hate, Some We Eat: Why It's So Hard To Think Straight About Animals Every dog owner knows that along with the joy can come the stress and frustration of behavioral problems, which are expensive to diagnose and treat. Enter Kim Brophey, award-winning canine behavior consultant.

Summary of Kim Brophey's Meet Your Dog
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 When we are selecting a dog or addressing specific behaviors with our existing canine partner, we must be sure that we are looking at the whole animal. We don’t want to fall in love with a dog that is doomed to fail, and we don’t want to give up prematurely when there may be a simple solution. #2 The L. E. G. S. system is a framework for understanding the many factors that affect your dog’s behavior. It ensures that no stone goes unturned. The external environment is a powerful factor in your dog’s behavior, just like it is for every species on earth. #3 The physical features and behaviors of dogs are the result of their being purposefully selected for the behaviors they expressed. The environment must fit the animal, and vice versa. Dogs look so different from each other because they are so different from each other. #4 The last pillar of L. E. G. S. is the self, which is the internal factors that are unique to each individual dog. Your dog is a one-in-a-million individual creature with likes and dislikes that make him unique and special.
Canine Enrichment for the Real World
In the world of dogs, there is now more awareness than ever of the need to provide enrichment, especially in shelters. But what exactly is enrichment? The concept is pretty straightforward: learn what your dog’s needs are, and then structure an environment and routine that allows them to engage in behaviors they find enriching. To truly enrich your dog’s life, you should offer them opportunities to engage in natural or instinctual behaviors. Aside from the limitations we have to place on a dog in today’s modern, busy world, the biggest constraint to enriching your dog’s life is your imagination! What the experts say about Canine Enrichment: Don’t let the word “enrichment” in th...

In Defence of Dogs
John Bradshaw, one of the world's leading dog experts, brings us a compelling insight into what dogs would ask us for, if only they knew how. The dog has been mankind's faithful companion for tens of thousands of years, yet today finds itself in crisis throughout the western world. Until just over a hundred years ago, most dogs worked for their living, and each of the many breeds had become well suited, over countless generations, to the task for which they were bred. Now, in their purely domestic roles we fail to understand their needs. And it is time that someone stood up for dogdom: not the caricature of the wolf in a dog suit, ready to dominate its unsuspecting owner at the first sign of weakness, not the trophy animal that collects rosettes and kudos for its breeder, but the real dog, the pet that just wants to be one of the family and enjoy life. Biologists now know far more about what really makes dogs tick than they did twenty years ago, but this new understanding has been slow to percolate through to owners, and has not yet made enough of a difference to the lives of the dogs themselves. This book is here to set the record straight.
