Description
Dogs have long been our companions and friends, yet much about their behavior remains mysterious. From wagging tails to sniffing out stinky spots, we can only make educated guesses about what they're thinking and feeling. In Canine Confidential, Marc Bekoff sheds light on the latest scientific understanding of dog cognition and emotion. By exploring the complexities of canine behavior, Bekoff reveals surprising insights into why dogs behave in certain ways, such as playing tug-of-war with one dog but showing their bellies to another. He also dispels common myths about dog behavior, offering a fresh perspective on everyday phenomena like peeing and grass-eating. At its core, Canine Confidential is a book about the deep emotional lives of dogs and our responsibility as their companions to create rich and fulfilling experiences for them. Bekoff's expertise in positive training is also on full display, advocating for approaches that prioritize kindness, respect, and understanding over dominance or fear.
