Reading List

Keeping up to date with the latest developments in Canine Science is important as modern science and especially genetics is revealing remarkable insights into dog evolution, behaviour and breeds. Equally it requires a strong grounding in the classic works of Dog Behaviour such as Coppinger, Miller, Donaldson and Lindsay. Meet Your Dog – K Brophey & R Coppinger – Highly recommended, if you want to understand your dog better, in my opinion this is the best book to help you do so. The Culture Clash – J Donaldson

The Other End of The Leash – P McConnell PHD

The Power of Positive Dog Training – P Miller

How Dogs Think – S Coren PHD

How to Speak Dog – S Coren PHD

Decoding Dogs: Inside the Canine Mind – E Furlong

Easy Peasy Doggy Squeezy – S Mann

Don’t Shoot The Dog – K Pryor

The Domestic Dog – J Serpell et al

Dogs – R&L Coppinger

Handbook Of Applied Dog Behaviour & Training – S Lindsay

Thought for the weekend - If we swap ‘dog’ for ‘child’ and ‘purely positive’ for ‘gentle parenting’, would this article still make sense?

Perhaps we could all do with taking a minute to consider what these behaviours will look like in a teenager or an adult

On the long train journey east from Moscow, Lyudmila Trut was watching the dizzying white plains of Siberia speed past her window. It was the autumn of 1958 and the recently married 25-year-old was bound for the Institute of Cytology and Genetics in the newly built “scientific city” of Akademgor...

So this was a different side to the business.
A new client asked if we could help her best friend become more relaxed with her Egyptian rescue dog.
Because of her worries over the dog, her friend hadn’t visited for many months and now that they (the client) had moved to Devon they would not be able to see each other if she couldn’t overcome her fears.
After a 2 hour session we are delighted to say our clients friend was not only able to spend the weekend at the house but to comfortably tolerate the dog she was previously so wary of.
Story shared with consent of all involved.

Interesting comment from one of the behaviourists on the course last week. “Look at texts from the 60’s & 70’s on dog breeds if you want a more honest description of many breeds original purpose and personality…” so I found this 1968 gem in Abebooks and the honest writing on various breeds is quite different from how we now view many dogs and breeds.
