Into the book
We now know that pets think and feel emotions just like people.
This means that we must take greater responsibility for caring for our pets and accept them as they are.
As a smart being who feels affection for humans and has his own wants.
--- p.
19
Dogs' social skills are amazing.
Dogs can find food hidden in a spot pointed by a person.
It finds the target regardless of whether you point at it with your finger, nod your head, or just look in that direction, or make some other mark on that spot.
A clever experiment that gave dogs the opportunity to 'steal' food also showed that dogs understand human perspectives.
Dogs must have developed such impressive skills in the process of becoming domesticated by humans.
This can be seen as an example of convergent evolution.
Some evidence for this can be found in experiments with Siberian silver foxes.
In this experiment, tamed foxes were found to be as good at recognizing where a human's finger or gaze was pointing as dogs.
This suggests that a special relationship was formed between humans and dogs during the domestication process.
--- p.
165
A dog's most important sense is smell.
Dogs don't just have a nose; they also have a vomeronasal organ located above the roof of their mouth.
Rather than detecting odors in the air stream, the nasopharyngeal organ dissolves molecules in saliva and other substances and absorbs them into two tubes behind the front teeth.
Have you ever felt sick after watching your dog lick their urine or feces? Perhaps they're trying to analyze the information with their scrotum.
Similarly, dogs are always sniffing urine on the road to find out something.
Sometimes they even approach us humans and sniff around our groin or buttocks, making us feel embarrassed.
--- p.
227
It is important for dog owners to be aware of their dog's problem behaviors.
Common behaviors that dogs exhibit when they are afraid may not be recognized as problem behaviors, but how you view them depends on your perspective.
While some people tolerate their dogs' occasional potty mistakes, others consider it a very serious offense.
Ultimately, problem behaviors affect the well-being of your dog and become a problem for your owner.
What's more concerning is that if dog owners aren't aware of this, they may not even try to improve their dog's problem behavior.
This means that we must take greater responsibility for caring for our pets and accept them as they are.

Publisher's Review
PhD in Psychology, Science Writer, Canine Behavior Specialist, Dog Trainer and Owner,
Jazzy Todd shares the most scientifically-based dog-rearing guide, based on behavioral psychology, for your dog's happiness!
How can I make my dog happy? This is a question many pet owners wonder.
Have you ever wondered, "So, what does happiness mean to a dog?" Eating well and sleeping well? Taking them for a walk at least once a day? A dog's happiness isn't achieved so simply.
There are already many books on how to raise a dog.
However, many books only present methods without clear basis.
Dog owners who lack expertise in dogs have no choice but to passively follow such information.
Rather than having readers passively follow the knowledge of experts, this book helps readers develop their own expertise about dogs.
Because only a pet owner with expertise in dogs can make their dog happy.
The ultimate goal of this book is to 'make your dog happy.'
Before explaining how to achieve this, the book first explains 'what happiness means to a companion dog', and emphasizes that in order to achieve this, one must have a good understanding of the existence of 'dogs'.
The author, who holds a doctorate in psychology, analyzed and synthesized scientific research on dogs from a doctoral perspective to create 'Companion Dog Behavioral Psychology' so that pet owners can accurately understand their dogs and provide them with a better life.
Furthermore, it also suggests proper dog raising methods based on this.
"Companion Dog Behavior Psychology" will serve as a proper guide for all dog owners, whether they are dog lovers or dog trainers who respect their dogs' emotions and want to train them to lead them to happiness.
Animal welfare begins with science.
Scientists in the past thought that animals were incapable of feeling emotions, as psychologist Burroughs Frederick Skinner once argued, “Animals simply react to stimuli.”
But things changed in 1998 when Dr. Brian Hare, professor of anthropology and author of "The Affectionate Survives," and behaviorist Professor Adam Miklós discovered that dogs look in the direction a person points with their finger.
The results of this experiment changed the perception that humans and animals were very different and that only humans had special abilities, and led to the beginning of full-scale research on dogs.
The reason why animal welfare, which many people consider important these days, has become a hot topic is because of ‘science.’
This book argues that exploring scientifically proven facts plays a crucial role in realizing animal welfare, and contains scientifically researched and explored facts about dogs in an easy-to-understand manner so that even ordinary pet owners and aspiring dog trainers can develop expertise in the field.
What does happiness mean to a dog?
Many pet owners want to make their dogs happy.
But we don't really know what happiness means to our dogs.
To make your dog happy, you must first explore and understand its cognition and emotions.
We also need to be concerned about what animal welfare means.
Professor David Mellor of Massey University in New Zealand has proposed five areas to use when evaluating human behavior to improve animal welfare: nutrition, environment, health, behavior and mental health.
Only by considering these areas can you make your dog happy.
In this way, this book first touches on the fundamentals of companion dog happiness and then provides scientifically-based facts on what companion dog owners need to do to achieve this.
After reading this book, you will be one step closer to achieving its ultimate goal: your dog's happiness.
