Présentation de l'éditeur
The first book to establish the now wildly popular category of dog psychology, THE INTELLIGENCE OF DOGS made headlines and news with its controversial rankings of smart dogs, lap dogs and watchdogs.
Updated with the most recent scientific research, interviews with top breeders and trainers, and his own personal observations as a lifelong dog lover, Stanley Coren's first, and now classic, bestseller reveals some surprising facts about the intelligence of our closest animal companions. Dog lovers gain practical tips on evaluating their dog's intelligence, reading dog body language, understanding the sophisticated 'language' of a dog's bark, and tailoring a training programme to suit each dog's special needs. Here too are Coren's scientifically determined lists that rank more than one hundred breeds for obedience, problem-solving, and working intelligence, as well as for specialized tasks, such as being a guard dog or being safe around children. Whether your dog is pure bred or a mixed breed you can use the dog intelligence test that Coren provides to find out how smart your best friend is.
Rich in wit, wisdom, and anecdotes, this new edition of THE INTELLIGENCE OF DOGS brings dog fanciers a greater understanding and enjoyment of the habits, antics and abilities of dogs.
Quatrième de couverture
Drawing on the most recent scientific research and his personal observations as a lifelong dog owner, Professor Stanley Coren reveals surprising truths about the intelligence of our closest animal companions, and provides a weath of practical advice on how to evaluate your dog's intellect, understand the nature of canine communication, and devise a training programme tailored to your dog's needs and abilities. Whether your dogs is pure bred or mixed breed you can use the dog intelligence test that Coren provides to find our how smart your best friend is. The Intelligence of Dogs also includes assessments of more than 100 breeds for their obedience, problem-solving and working intelligence, as well as for individual roles such as guarding, herding, or being safe around children.
'What makes The Intelligence of Dogs such a great book isn't just the abstract discussions of canine intelligence. Throughout, Coren relates his findings to the concrete, discussing the strengths and weaknesses of various breeds and including specific advice on evaluating different breeds for various purposes. It's the kind of book would-be dog owners should be required to read before even contemplating buying a dog.'

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Trade Paperback. Etat : As New. 1st Pbk Edition. Do dogs of different breeds differ in intelligence? How well do they understand human language, and do they have a language of their own which humans can learn to understand? Do dogs have memories of things past and images or anticipations of things to come? Do they have feelings such as guilt, loyalty, and protectiveness or even simple emotions such as joy and sorrow? Or are these human terms for entirely different animal behaviors? In The Intelligence of Dogs, the renowned psychologist and award-winning dog trainer Stanley Coren gives us the most compelling and comprehensive picture to date of the canine mind and how it works. Coren shows how a dog's mental abilities are shaped by his genetic makeup and the forces of evolution in operation.271p.+plates bibliography, 1ndex. N° de réf. du vendeur 045435
