How to Improve Your Dog’s Intelligence David Taylor, D.V.M. - All books by this author Dogs are smarter than most people think! With help from this entertaining book, owners of prize-winning canines, ordinary mongrels, and all other kinds in between can learn how to bring out their pooches’ inner genius. The author starts off by describing the mind of a typical dog, focusing on its perceptions, emotions, instincts, and ways in which it learns. He discusses special abilities and traits of specific breeds, and tells how to “decode” a mongrel—that is, figure out the different breeds that produced it. Chapters that follow advise on how to interpret a dog’s behavior, how to test a dog’s intelligence by confronting it with simple tasks, and how to heighten the intelligence it already possesses. Finally, the author suggests clever tricks and shows how to teach them. They include a nose flip and catch, performed with a dog biscuit; an exercise in simple counting of objects; and several others. Here’s how to elevate man’s best friend from doggy dunce to canine Einstein, and have fun while doing it. Approximately 200 color photos. About The Author: David Taylor is an English veterinary surgeon and the author of more than 40 pet care books. He travels widely around the world, treating animals of all kinds, from giant pandas to killer whales. (0764138588) Paperback / 144 Pages / 8 x 10 / 2008 | ||
