  Dog behaviour can be affected by diet, outdated training techniques, and the modern dog's way of life. This book examines a dog's daily routine - what he eats, where he sleeps, how much exercise and socializing he has - to find the root cause of various problems. Taking specific problems in alphabetical order, the author looks at what dogs do and why, and explains how to overcome annoying behaviour without resorting to punishment. Among the issues addressed are why dogs attack visitors' ankles, frighten cats, refuse to come when called, pull on a lead, and bark while their owners speak on the telephone.
