About this product

Product Information

The bestselling book that asks what dogs know and how they think. The answers will surprise and delight you as Alexandra Horowitz, a cognitive scientist, explains how dogs perceive their daily worlds, each other, and that other quirky animal, the human. Temple Grandin meets Stephen Pinker in this engaging and informative look at what goes on inside the minds of dogs--from a cognitive scientist with a background at The New Yorker . With more than 52 million pet dogs in America today, it's clear we are a nation of unabashed dog-lovers. Yet the relationship between dogs and humans remains a fascinating mystery, as no one really knows what goes on in the canine mind. Now, in Inside of a Dog , Alexandra Horowitz fuses her perspectives as both scientist and dog-owner to deliver a fresh look at the world of dogs--as seen from the animal's point of view. Inspired by her years of living with her own dog, Pumpernickel, who was a constant source of delight and mystery, Horowitz's mind became filled with questions and ideas. In crisp, clear prose, she draws on her research in the field of dog cognition to give readers a sense of a dog's perceptual and cognitive abilities--and paints a picture of what the canine experience is like. Horowitz's own scientific journey, and the insights she uncovered, allowed her to understand her dog better and appreciate her more. Containing up-to-the minute research and providing many moments of dog-behavior recognition, this lively and absorbing book helps dog owners to see their best friend's behavior in a different, and revealing light, allowing them to understand their pets and enjoy their company even more.

"Inside of A Dog" By Alexandra Horowitz
I have an extensive collection of books on dog behavior and this is by far, one of the best I have ever read. It's the type of book you will refer to over and over. I found it very fascinating. I work in dog rescue and when trying to rehabilitate a dog to be adoptable, I want to be able to understand how he experiences the world. The author talks about dogs from a behavioral point of view, including the effect of environment and genetics on their behavior. She gives examples of her own pet's behavior, which gives the book a personal feeling. She also gives fairly technical information about the dog's anatomy and how it effects their world. This was quite interesting and gives a lot of insight to your pet's behavior. This book compares well with another of my favorite books on dog behavior, "How to Speak Dog--Mastering the Art of Dog-Human Communication" by Stanley Coren. Coren's book is not as technical and deals more with dog behavior and not as much with anatomy. I would highly recomend either of these books to anyone interested in seeing the world from their dog's point of view.Read full review

A Must Read for True Dog Lovers
All dog lovers misinterpret many of their dog's actions, translating those to human emotions. This book provides the information needed to better understand why your dog does what he or she does. Highly recommend!

great book, lots of insight!
Good book, gave me a lot of insight on my puppy. It can get a little wordy or run on and go deeper into the science stuff, some of which I understood and some stuff I had to look up. Almost as if its the more scientific Marley and Me, explaining why they do this and that. Picture of Pump on the cover is adorable too!
