Why does your dog chase his tail and dig holes? Why does he pull on his leash and eat grass? All of these behaviors can be explained by understanding your dog s instinctive behavior. The Wolf Within explains these and other behavioral traits that your dog and the wolf share. The book further explains what to do in specific situations with step-by-step exercises. The text is supplemented with over 200 color illustrations/photos and special feature panels. The dog owner will read about the early life of the dog, training and exercising, domestication, feeding and health, and grooming. Armed with this information, the dog owner can better care for his pet. David Alderton is an internationally known and respected pet author with over 70 titles published.
