Dog Behaviour, Evolution and Cognition - Adam Miklosi

This is the first book to collate and synthesize the recent burgeoning primary research literature on dog behaviour, evolution and cognition.  The author presents a new ecological approach to the understanding of dog behaviour, demonstrating how dogs can be the subject of rigorous and productive scientific study without the need to confine them to a laboratory environment.
