How do dogs perceive the world about them? How do they see, hear, learn, relate to their owners? How large are their brains, what is their emotional makeup? Why do they suffer from stress and how can it be coped with? Over the last few years a substantial body of knowledge has been built up about the psychology of dog behavior. Combining more than twenty years of practical experience as a veterinary clinician with a personal knowledge and understanding of the latest international research, Dr. Bruce Fogle has written the most inclusive and relevant book on how the canine mind works.

Editorial Reviews

Booknews
This informative book tells how the canine mind works. Well written, with bits of dry humor, it describes how a dog thinks and why it does what it does. Includes a section on how to train a dog to respond to simple commands such as "sit" and "stay". Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)

    Excellent book for any professional dealing with dogs.

    "The Dog's Mind" by Bruce Fogle is a "must read" for vets and canine behavior specialists. Powerful and informational, digs deep into dog's behavior. Easy to read, interesting, contains very helpful tips on training as well. Highly recommend.
