Why Dogs Do What They Do

A Practical Guide to Everyday Canine Behaviours and Instincts

Why Dogs Do What They Do
Dogs behave with purpose. Nothing they do is random. This book explains the real reasons behind the behaviours owners see every day and shows how to respond in a calm, effective, science-based way.

You learn what drives sniffing, barking, pulling, licking, zoomies, splooting, chewing, guarding, whining, digging, rolling, chasing, humping, the flehmen response, and dozens of other common actions. Each chapter breaks down what the dog is trying to achieve, what the behaviour means, and the simplest way for an owner to guide it.

Clear explanations. No jargon. Practical steps you can use immediately.

Inside you will discover:
• Why dogs communicate the way they do
• The biological forces shaping each behaviour
• How to reduce unwanted habits without punishment
• How to create calmer walks and a more relaxed home
• How to meet a dog’s mental and emotional needs
• How to build a stronger bond by understanding motive, not guessing

Whether you are a new owner, an experienced handler, or someone who wants a deeper connection with your dog, this book gives a direct, simple framework for understanding the mind behind the behaviour.
