About this product

Product Information

This is a study of the capabilities of the trained dog, based on the Guide Dog For The Blind Association's experience in the training of guide dogs. This book presents a detailed explanation of dog behaviour and psychology, and how dogs can be educated to become skilled performers with adaptable and skilful minds, not merely well-conditioned and mechanistic robots. The traditional belief that animals were quite incapable of thinking or of making conscious decisions about alternative courses of decision is a dogma now contended; this book explains how a dog's conscious awareness replicates exactly the thought proceses of the human brain.
