Scent
and visual signaling
Signaling plays and important part of a dog's life. Many messages involves smell: dogs mark frequent

The importance of play..
Puppies love to play to provide valuable excercise for the growing animal. The puppy learns about the world with it's
senses and develops the social skills.They need lots of contact with their peers and human friends in order to grow up well
adjusted adults.
Antisocial behavior.
Understandably with such a complex and intelligent species, things do go wrong, and dogs can sometimes present behavioral,
psychological problems. Very rarely is a dog truly psychotic. It's behavior can be explain by examination of the fundamental
nature of "canis familiaris". The fact that the dog is descended from social hunting animals and an individual
has had a deficient upbringing, ussually explains everything. The good owner must study and understand his/her dog's character.
