Canine Confidential: Why Dogs Do What They Do
- There is no “the dog”: Dogs are unique individuals who have distinct personalities
- How dogs sense the world: What the nose knows and the role of other senses; peeing, marking, and rolling in stinky stuff
- Dogs just want to have fun: Playing fairly on the run, zoomies, and why dogs play
- Dominance: Dogs like many other animals form dominance relationships, but dominance has no part in training/teaching
- The cognitive and emotional lives of dogs: What they know and what they feel
- Let’s go to the dog park: The importance of “citizen science”
- Let dogs be dogs: 2018 and beyond
You can order Marc Bekoff’s new book: Canine Confidential at Amazon.
