Genes are destiny, was long the popular opinion. Meanwhile, it is known that the genetic heritage is not entirely set in stone – we can modify genetic predispositions – even in our dogs. But what is in the genes, what surrounds them, and how are they regulated? This is where epigenetics comes into play: It tells the cell how to use its genes or not. And now, above all, humans are called upon! With our relationship with the dog, with the way we treat and feed it, but also through the environment we offer it, we change it in its deepest core. Our guidance helps ensure that the dog's genetics and epigenetics work together optimally. Of course, every dog has a genetic heritage – so not everything is possible. But much more than previously thought. Dr. Peter Spork introduces you to the world of epigenetics, which offers you a completely new perspective on the shaping of a dog's nature. It is a world from which dog breeding, dog training, and dog keeping can still learn a great deal.
