Dogs behaving badly : an A to Z guide to understanding and curing behavioral problems in dogs / Nicholas H. Dodman.

Summary:

With wit, wisdom, and compassion, Dr. Dodman gets us inside the minds of our pets to learn what makes them do the crazy things they do. From aggression to zoonosis and just about everything in between, he tackles such common problems as nipping, tail chasing, excessive barking, and garbage scavenging, as well as more difficult conditions that often defy explanation--not to mention treatment.
