Résumé

Dog Behavior : Modem Science and Our Canine Companions provides a thorough examination of the evolutionary history, biology, neuroscience, and natural history behind canine behavior. This book uses research studies, historical evidence, interviews from animal behavior experts, previously unpublished case studies, and the authori professional experiences to provide a comprehensive guide to the behavior of man's best friend.
This book provides readers with a better understanding of canine science, including evolutionary concepts, ethograms, brain structures and development, sensory perspectives, the science of emotions, social structure, and the natural history of the species. It also analyzes relationships between humans and dogs and how the latter has evolved to coexist and empathize with human companions given their evolutionary roots.
Dog Behavior : Modern Science and Our Canine Companions is the ideal resource for any reader interested in the human-canine relationship dynamic, as well as researchers and students in animal behavior, specifically focusing on dog behavior. This book is also valuablefor veterinarians seeking further information on dog behavior and the social temperament of these companion animals. Key features : Provides an accessible, engaging introduction to animal behavior specifically related to human-canine relationships ; Clarifies misunderstandings, mysteries, and misconceptions about canines with historical evidence and scientific studies ; Offers insights and techniques to improve human-canine relationships
James C. Ha, PhD, presides as research professor emeritus in the Department of Psychology at the University of Washington. He received his PhD in zoology and behavioral ecology from Colorado State University. Dr. Ha has over 30 years of experience in teaching, research, and consulting in animal behavior. He is the lead author on numerous scientific publications on animal behavior, specifically dog behavior.
Dr. Has current research interests revolve around applied animal behavior -dogs, cats, and nonhuman primates -and welfare, enrichment, and behavior modification methods. This work overlaps with his primary research interests that have, for many years, focused on complex social behavior in highly cognitive animals (primates, corvids, and cetaceans). Tracy L. Campion is the writer and co-publisher of Pet Connection Magazine.
She earned her undergraduate degree at the University of Washington and later received her M.5. in Primate Behavior from Central Washington University and her Postgraduate Diploma in Journalism from the London School of Journalism. After Tracy adopted a dog, Mutual Rescue produced a short film about their story entitled Tracy and Jack. Ms. Campion has worked with captive chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and free-living baboons (Papio ursinus) in South Africa.
