Description
Dogs have long been our companions and friends, but how well do we really know what drives their behaviour? In "How Dogs Work", Raymond Coppinger and Mark Feinstein explore the evolutionary foundations underlying dog behaviour, examining the role of shape in determining their actions. From the physical body to the environment, they reveal how these factors interact to influence a dog's behaviour. The authors synthesise decades of research to explain why dogs play, whether they have minds, and how they feed and forage. They also explore the early relationship between mother and pup, as well as the adaptations of dogs in the wild, including wolves, coyotes, jackals, dingoes, and pumas. By understanding these factors, we can gain a deeper insight into the lives of our canine companions. This book offers a unique perspective on dog behaviour, one that goes beyond the typical pet owner's experience. Coppinger and Feinstein provide an accessible guide to understanding your dog and its behaviour, making "How Dogs Work" a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about their furry friend.
