Written by experts in different areas, this book presents an up-to-date account of the behavioral biology of dogs.

Split in three parts, the book addresses the specific aspects of behavioral biology. The first part deals with the evolution and development of the dog, whereas the next part deals with basic aspects of dog behavior. The final part emphasizes on the behavioral problems, their prevention and cure.

"This book is interesting to read...Diverse types of readers can learn from this publication, including university students in biology, agriculture and perhaps veterinary medicine as a brief introduction."

Eva Baranyiova - , Acta Veterinaria Brno

"This volume aptly demonstrates that canine behavioral biology is exquisitely interesting in and of itself."
