People may enjoy thinking about them as “man’s best friend,” but what actually drives the things they do? What is going on in their fur-covered heads as they look at us with their big, expressive eyes? Raymond Coppinger and Mark Feinstein know something about these questions, and with \u003ci\u003eHow Dogs Work\u003c\/i\u003e, they’re ready to share; this is their guide to understanding your dog and its behaviour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eApproaching dogs as a biological species rather than just as pets, Coppinger and Feinstein accessibly synthesise decades of research and field experiments to explain the evolutionary foundations underlying dog behaviours. They examine the central importance of the shape of dogs: how their physical body (including the genes and the brain) affects behaviour, how shape interacts with the environment as animals grow, and how all of this has developed over time. Shape, they tell us, is what makes a champion sled dog or a Border collie that can successfully herd sheep.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOther chapters in \u003ci\u003eHow Dogs Work\u003c\/i\u003e explore such mysteries as why dogs play; whether dogs have minds, and if so, what kinds of things they might know; why dogs bark; how dogs feed and forage; and the influence of the early relationship between mother and pup. Going far beyond the cosy lap dog, Coppinger and Feinstein are equally fascinated by what we can learn from the adaptations of dogs, wolves, coyotes, jackals, dingoes, and even pumas in the wild, as well as the behaviour of working animals like guarding and herding dogs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe cherish dogs as family members and deeply value our lengthy companionship with them. But isn’t it time we knew more about who Fido and Trixie really are? \u003ci\u003eHow Dogs Work\u003c\/i\u003e will provide some keys to unlocking the origins of many of our dogs' most common, most puzzling, and most endearing behaviours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47072283853036,"sku":"9780226637761","price":41.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/18605893482268.jpg?v=1765091173"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/mark-feinstein.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
