The Dog is a comprehensive and authoritative textbook on canine domestication, breeding, behavior, cognition, training, health care, and nutrition. Written in clear and accessible language, it has been updated and expanded in its third edition to provide comprehensive coverage of various aspects of dog care.
The new edition includes extensive sections on dog breeds and selective breeding practices, genetic testing programs, canine social cognition and communication, manners training, common behavior problems, popular dog sports, and new information on health care and disease prevention.
Enhanced with distinctive figures and tables, the text offers current references, suggested readings, updated tables and references, and a thorough glossary to aid in comprehension.
In The Dog, readers can expect to find detailed information on canine behavior, reward-based training approaches, health care and disease prevention, pet foods and nutrition, and research on the unique social cognition of domestic dogs. The book also covers breed-specific diseases, genetic testing, canine infectious viruses, atopic disease, and new vaccines and vaccination schedules.
Interspecies communications between dogs and humans, prevention and management of common behavior problems in dogs, and pet food selection and recommended feeding practices are also discussed in depth.
More detailed and comprehensive than many other dog books, The Dog is an indispensable tool for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, trainers, behaviorists, breeders, animal shelter and rescue group staff, and dog owners. It is also a valuable textbook for academic purposes, particularly for students studying animal behavior, veterinary science, and animal welfare.
