Book Reviews of Through a Dog's Ear: Music to Calm Your Canine Companion
Book Review: Helpful Tool for Calming Dogs
Summary: 5 Stars
As a canine behavior consultant who specializes in fearful dogs and takes a holistic approach to behavior modification, I appreciate and recommend this book. The authors conducted experiments on over 150 dogs to find out which musical instrumentation, speed, and rhythm would cause dogs to relax. The dogs' heartbeats become entrained to the music, resulting in a rate that is conducive to the relaxation response. Dogs in home environments showed reduced anxiety, as did dogs in kennel situations. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying that simply playing this CD will solve behavior issues in and of itself (although it certainly might for some dogs), but it is a useful adjunct to behavior modification, is easy for humans to implement, and will not cause harm. And who knows, it might even calm the humans in the house, which will in turn make for a calmer dog as well.
Summary of Through a Dog's Ear: Music to Calm Your Canine Companion
You know that your dog's hearing is very sensitive--so how do you create an environment of sound that suits your canine companion's specific needs? Now psychoacoustic expert Joshua Leeds and veterinary neurologist Susan Wagner provide the answer with Through a Dog's Ear: simple sound-based solutions to help your dog live a longer, happier, and healthier life. Using the latest science on how dogs hear and react to sound, Leeds and Wagner provide a treasury of fresh insight on the inner life of our best friends, including: * Sound ideas for nervous dogs: tips and tricks for making any house or apartment more comfortable for canines * How sensitive is your dog? The unique ways that different sizes, breeds, and individuals respond to sound * Turning sound into a tool to overcome separation anxiety, food aggression, thunderstorm panic, and other behavior challenges * 45-minute CD of music psychoacoustically designed for dogs For any reader who has wondered what's really happening when their dog perks up his ears and cocks his head--or when he hides in the closet--Through a Dog's Ear is an indispensable source of cutting-edge research, heartwarming stories, and practical advice. Leeds and Wagner pave the way for using sound to provide relief for Rottweilers, comfort for collies, and serenity for spaniels everywhere.General Books
