Harnessing thought: the guide dog : a thinking animal with a skilful mind
Blindness and visual impairment
Human-narrated audio
Summary
This book presents a detailed explanation of dog behaviour and psychology, and how dogs can be educated to become skilled performers with adaptable and skilful minds, not merely well-conditioned and mechanistic robots. The traditional belief that animals were quite incapable… of thinking or of making conscious decisions about alternative courses of decision is a dogma now contended; this book explains how a dog's conscious awareness replicates exactly the thought processes of the human brain. 1995.
