Product Description

Product Description

"Quite simply this is an excellent book. It is well-written, with snatches of dry humour. It should be mandatory reading for anybody who keeps a dog or has intentions of so doing." —R. W. F. Poole, Daily Telegraph

How do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.

4.0 out of 5 stars Dog's eye view, Jun 29 2004
By J. Giesbrecht "Avid Reader" (BC, Canada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is written in a comfortable, conversational style. It gives insight to us humans about the way dogs perceive the world we live in. The Dog's Mind is a good book for developing compassion for dogs in light of their actions, in lieu of anger for the way they respond to the stimuli we present them with. The book gives reasoning for why dogs behave the way they do and brings the reader to a point of better understanding the way to deal with the way his/her dog behaves (or dogs he/she may run into in the community). Not a "how-to" book for the most part, although there are some very good step-by-step instructions for dealing with certain behaviors (i.e. excitability in the car or when visitors come to the house).

5.0 out of 5 stars Great behavior guide, Jun 7 2004
By Susan L. Wyse "slwyse" (Snohomish, WA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is NOT a training manual, this is a dog behavior manual. It teaches you how to read and understand your dogs behavior and why he does the things he does. This is very understandable and enjoyable to read. Bruce Fogle gives lots of in depth information on genetics and how early learning can effect your dog. This is very scientific, and not necessarily an "easy" read. Some of the information can take a while to digest. This isn't a book you can read in two evenings. Bruce Fogle is very articulate and well read, and knows what he is talking about.

I recommend this book to anyone who owns a dog, whether or not the plan on professionally training them or not. It has new information for even some of the most knowledgable people.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book, and a little more "scientific" in expression.
A lot of dog behavior books are pretty easy to understand and are digestible by your average reader. This book is just as understandable but is at a more detailed level. Read more
