Canine Neuropsychology (3rd edition)
James O'Heare
E-BOOK
This older book is now out of print but we are making it available in ebook format because I know that it is used in some courses. I don't really concern myself too much with the biology of behavior any longer, focussing on a behavior analytic approach and the functional relationship between behavior and the environment. But, a brief introduction to the biology can sometimes be useful.
Canine Neuropsychology is an introduction to the canine nervous system and endocrine system and how trainers, behaviorists and guardians can use this knowledge to train dogs or modify their behavior. The book explains how the nervous system and endocrine system work and how stimuli are inputted, processed, organized and then outputted in behavioral responses. The book also explores the stress and emotions in dogs. The book describes how this information can be used in treating behavior problems or even just living more easily with dogs. The book describes stress in detail and suggests a treatment plan based on mental and physical stimulation as well as nutritional intervention. The book also describes medications and nutritional supplementation that can help bring a dog back to his mental peak.
