The Canine Psyche

Everything starts in the head – and not just for humans. The brain is the control center; almost all bodily functions, feelings, and behavior are controlled from here. Psychologist Robert Mehl manages to present the dry topic of neurobiology in such a way that it becomes incredibly exciting. He splits skulls to illustrate the location of the diencephalon. He shows which areas trigger anger and aggression and what happens when these cannot be inhibited. He explains why the "food" functional circuit is switched off during aggression and why, therefore, a growling dog raging on a leash cannot be lured with a treat. In his book, Mehl offers a fascinating approach that helps to understand the dog's behavior, motivation, and consciousness holistically.
