Since Canis lupus familiaris first shared a fire with man more than 15,000 years ago, dogs have been trusted and valued coworkers. Yet the relatively new field of canine ergonomics is just beginning to unravel the secrets of this collaboration.
• As with many new fields, the literature on working dogs is scattered across several non-overlapping disciplines from forensics and the life sciences to medicine, security, and wildlife biology.
• Canine Ergonomics: The Science of Working Dogs draws together related research from different fields into an interdisciplinary resource of science-based information.Providing a complete overview, from physiology to cognition, this is the first book to discuss working dogs from a scientific perspective. It covers a wide range of current and potential tasks, explores ergonomic and cognitive aspects of these tasks, and covers personality traits and behavioral assessments of working dogs.
• A quick look at the chapters, contributed by experts from across the globe and across the multidisciplinary spectrum, illustrates the breadth and depth of information available in this book.Traditionally, information concerning working dogs is mostly hearsay, with the exchange of information informal at best and non-existent at worst. Most books available are too general in coverage or conversely, too specific. They explain how to train a service dog or train a dog to track, based on training lore rather than empirical methods verified with rigorous scientific standards.
• This book, drawing on cutting edge research, unifies different perspectives into one global science: Canine Ergonomics.
• Illustrationer: 3 equations; 20 Tables, black and white; 74 Illustrations, black and white.
"Don't be put off by the high price as it is worth it. Compiles alot of new research studies involving working dogs across a wide range of canine disciplines. This is not a 'fluff' read that you will breeze through in a single night so it might be to much for the beginnning novice handler but well worth it for the experienced handler who want to extend their knowledge and understanding. Well worth it for the library shelf and one that I've gone back and read several times."
