| Format | PDF E-Book File Size: Varies Category: Veterinary Behavioral Medicine Specialty: Canine Behavior and Ethology DESCRIPTION ----------- Dog Behavior, Modern Science and Our Canine Companions represents an essential integration of contemporary behavioral science with practical veterinary application. This comprehensive resource bridges the gap between academic research and clinical practice, offering veterinary professionals evidence-based insights into canine cognition, communication, social behavior, and behavioral pathology. Drawing from the latest studies in ethology, neuroscience, and applied animal behavior, this text provides a scientific foundation for understanding the complex behavioral repertoire of domestic dogs and their interactions with humans and other animals. The book systematically explores the evolutionary origins of canine behavior, developmental stages from neonatal period through senescence, and the neurobiological mechanisms underlying normal and abnormal behavioral patterns. Readers will gain critical knowledge about breed-specific behavioral tendencies, the impact of early socialization and environmental enrichment, learning theory applications, and the physiological basis of fear, anxiety, and aggression. Each chapter integrates current research findings with clinical case examples, enabling practitioners to translate scientific knowledge into effective behavioral assessments and intervention strategies. This resource serves as both a foundational text for those new to behavioral medicine and an advanced reference for experienced practitioners seeking to update their knowledge with cutting-edge research. The evidence-based approach empowers veterinarians to provide informed counseling to pet owners, develop comprehensive behavioral modification programs, recognize when pharmacological intervention may be warranted, and collaborate effectively with veterinary behaviorists and certified animal behavior consultants.
