Description
The Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training series provides a coherent and integrated approach to understanding and controlling dog behavior. In Volume 3, various themes introduced in Volumes 1 and 2 are expanded upon, especially causally significant social, biological, and behavioral influences that impact on the etiology of behavior problems and their treatment. Ethological observations, relevant behavioral and neurobiological research, and dog behavior clinical findings are reviewed and critiqued in detail. Many of the training concepts, procedures, and protocols described have not been previously published, making this book a unique contribution to dog behavior and training literature.

"Educators and students alike are constantly searching for theperfect balance of depth and breadth in a text, attempting to findthe single source that will simplify their lives. Some texts areresearch dense but narrowly focused. Others cover a broad spectrumof topics in a given area but do not go into the related researchin any depth. When it comes to dog behavior, Steven Lindsay'sHandbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training may indeed be "justright." Journal of Veterinary Medical Education, 2001,28:43. "This is one of the most comprehensive books on the subject ofdog behavior I have seen; it covers a vast amount ofinformation." The Veterinary Record, November, 2001, 10:597.
