    Dogs: A New Understanding of Canine Origin, Behavior and Evolution
  

*by S***Y on Reviewed in the United States on October 1, 2011*

What I really relished about this book was how the Coppingers took so many of the assumptions all of us had read or heard over the years about dogs and made us look at them with fresh scientific insight.  So much of what the authors propose holds up to careful scrutiny.  I'm totally delighted by their findings after spending years observing and researching "village dogs" that these dogs are the key to the evolutionary journey from wolves to domesticated dogs.  That egocentric notion that humans somehow purposely domesticated wolves was a myth, one that needed to be exposed as fradulent.Thoroughly fascinating is the section on how humans have altered or even extinguished one or more of the predatory sequence behaviors in dogs in order to utilize them for specific jobs such as herding or pointing.This is, in my experience, a totally unique, readable, scientifically based salute to humans' closest animal companion -- a book eminently worth studying.

    Every dog owner should read this book!
  

*by G***S on Reviewed in the United States on March 26, 2009*

This is not a training book, but readers will gain much insight into the dogs they are training from it.  It is an excellent and very readable book on the origin and behaviors of the domestic dog and its wild Canid relatives.  There is an excellent analysis of how some of the service dog programs could be vastly improved by using current knowledge of critical learning periods in the young dog.  Also of great interest is a discussion of the damage done by breeding for physical characteristics only by AKC type breed "fanciers".  The populations always become inbred and physically distorted, and working ability is lost (examples--bulldog, German Shepherd, Irish Setter).  The authors are to be commended for their contribution to knowledge about our canine partners.

    A reboot on how to look at dog evolution.
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2014*

If you are interested in looking and learning about dog behavior and evolution, this is a must read! This book does take a different approach to dog evolution than has been traditionally done, but I feel it makes sense. It really dives into why certain body types and traits are what they are for certain dogs. It really looks at or brings to light the whole idea of form follows function even in our adaption of canines.The book also talks about what it truly means to be one breed or another and how breeds may actually be a detriment to dogs in general.I feel the book really allows one to open their mind to start heading in some new directions in the study of dogs and not stay under the restrictions of dogs are just a lesser wolves, but their own species at this point and should be studied as such. The book makes the aurguments that this is the equivilant of us always wanting to become more ape like since millennia ago we came from the same species that split. We don't think like that for ourselves and neither should we for dogs either.
