Dog Psychology: The Basis of Dog Training

xii, 327 pp. Black & white illustrations. "In clear, simple language, Dog Psychology examines, breed by breed, the dog's inheritance of behavior patterns and physical characteristics and abilities. And shows how you can apply your understanding of them to greater enjoyment of your dog as a companion pet, or to training him as a hunter, trailer, guard or work dog. Leon F. Whitney is America's best known and widest read writer on dogs. Through more than five decades, his writings have had the authority of his extensive experience as breeder, geneticist, researcher, trainer of hunting and trailing dogs, and practising veterinarian. He is the author of more than 50 books on pets, and in his own opinion -- 'Dog Psychology is my best -- the book that really puts it all together.'"
