Dog Dilemmas: The Dog's-Eye View on Tackling Pet Problems

- Blurb -

Even the best relationships aren't always problem-free - and the one that you have with your dog is no exception. So when a dilemma arises, what you need is Dog Dilemmas. One of the first titles in the Dog's-Eye View series, it not only offers good, workable, up-to-date advice for dealing with any and all of the problems that your dog may throw at you, but is also the first book to look at the situation from the canine, as well as the human, point of view. Studies into the behaviour and cognition of the domestic dog have never been more popular, and understanding why your dog does what he does is the first and most important step to knowing how to fix it. Learn to identify when your dog is simply exhibiting normal canine behaviour - but in the wrong place - and when a problem is the result of him feeling fear or confusion. Discover how you can read your dog's body language, and anticipate many problems before they ever arise. And gain your dog's trust, so that not only is he your best friend, but he feels, too, that you are his. Appealing, readable text is matched with commissioned photography to make this a guide that shows as well as tells.
