Capture Making Dogs Happy: How To Be A Dog’s Best Friend Authored By Melissa Starling In PDF

at this book, you might think it's a dog book that's basically just an excuse for a lot of pictures of dogs and the words are meaningless flavor text about man's best friend but you'd be wrong, because this is a really solidly researched book about dog behavior from a scientific viewpoint seriously, it has a bibliography and multiple references to current literature and is definitely worth reading if you're curious about, basically, anything about why dogs behave the way they do.
And, yes, it also has a lot of pictures of dogs,

It's also worth reading for the twocolumn list of Things The Authors' Dogs Have Eaten and Things They Have Not Eaten because, man, we have all been there, and I am glad I am not the only person whose dog has chowed down on a packing peanut.
This is a beautiful book filled with sciencefocused information, The main goal is to explore how owners can make their dogs happy, We learn about why dogs do certain behaviours and how humans can react,

I appreciate that the book begins by introducing us to the scientists who contributed to the book and the dogs they observed, It builds credibility, and also, . . the dogs were cute and who doesn't want to see cute

dogs Actually "credibility and also, . . the dogs were cute" is a pretty good summary of this entire book,

Another thing I appreciate is that even though this book is packed with scientific words like "vomeronasal," "antecedents," and "anal sac," the writers completely understand what it's like to be a dog owner.
I like that they don't water the science parts down, and that they still include funny and relatable anecdotes,

Some things that I learned from this book: Why do dogs roll around in disgusting smells Do dogs taste How and when should I reinforce good behaviour

Almost half of itspages are full photographs featuring beautiful happy dogs.
I highly recommend this book for any dog owner who wants to understand their furry pal a little better, Making Dogs Happy by Paul McGreevy and Melissa Starling is a must read book if you want to have a better understanding of your relationship with your dog.
Based on scientific facts that are made easy to understand by the writing style, you can learn things about the human and dog relationship, They talk about the dogdog ethogram which are the natural behaviors that dogs understand when they are born, As humans, we introduce our dogs to a lot of behaviors that they have no frame of reference to understand grooming, nailclipping, going to the vet, and walking on a leash.
When your dog is resistant to these type of interactions we often jump to the conclusion that they are being stubborn, or scared, When in actually, it is a foreign concept to them and they are going to need time to figure out what we are asking of them, and how they are going to react to that request.


In contrast, I was so intrigued by a section that explains that dogs have to do a lot of work in the relationship to understand all of our body language, not to mention our voices.
They explain that dogs can communicate volumes with each other just by a look into another dogs eyes, When I was reading this book, my dog came up to me and stood next to me staring into my eyes, She often does this, and I tell her time and time again, that she needs to let me know what she wants, I start listing, food water go outside and see the cat and eventually she will make a move on the one that seems to be what she wants.
After reading this book I feel like I should be honored that she thinks I can read her mind like I am a dog just like she is.
Sadly, I haven't made it to that level yet, With this book I am making progress though!

The book is filled with beautiful photography with a variety of dogs that just want to make you smile.
If you have ever wanted to learn more about how to improve your relationship with your dog, Making Dogs Happy will be a guide that will help you.
I continue to pick this book up and read a section to further understand, and I know I will be using this as a reference for a long time to come.
If you believe in Dog this is your bible,
Honestly it's such a great book and it doesn't really matter if you are a person who has always had dogs or someone who has never had a dog but is thinking about inviting one into your family.

This is your book, Interesting and in some respects enlightening book about how dogs think and feel, One star off for its vagueness, The book spends lots of time describing dog expressions, for example, where a picture would be far more informative, but breezes over key topics such as managing and helping adolescent dogs, or recommended training approaches.
