About this listen
For all the love and attention we give dogs, much of what they do remains mysterious. Just think about different behaviors you see at a dog park. We have a good understanding of what it means when dogs wag their tails, but what about when they sniff and roll on a stinky spot? Why do they play tug-of-war with one dog, while showing their bellies to another? Why are some dogs shy, while others are bold? What goes on in dogs' heads and hearts-and how much can we know and understand?
Canine Confidential has the answers. Written by award-winning scientist and lifelong dog lover Marc Bekoff, it not only brilliantly opens up the world of dog behavior, but also helps us understand how we can make our dogs' lives the best they can possibly be.
Rooted in the most up-to-date science on cognition and emotion - fields that have exploded in recent years - Canine Confidential is a wonderfully accessible treasure trove of new information and myth-busting. Peeing, we learn, isn't always marking; grass-eating isn't always an attempt to trigger vomiting; it's okay to hug a dog - on their terms; and so much more. There's still much we don't know, but at the core of the book is the certainty that dogs do have deep emotional lives, and that as their companions we must try to make those lives as rich and fulfilling as possible.

A must read!
Awesome book that everyone should read!
We have so much to learn about dogs (and animals in general).
I always said that dogs are God gift to us as they are the best teachers!
Thanks for this great reminder 🙏🏻🐾

Must love dogs!
Great insights into the canine world. Well informed and deeply respectful of dogs, the author weaves in enough odd stories about the notions humans have about their dogs to keep one entertained (and laughing/ rolling ones eyes at the humans). Recommended if you have a dog, still fun if you don’t.

Scientific Yet Heartfelt
This book was excellent. It balances nicely the science of canine psychology with heartwarming stories and common sense logic. Informative for experienced dog people and newbies alike!
