Canine Ergonomics: The Science of Working Dogs

By William S. Helton

As with many developing fields, the literature on working dogs is scattered across several non-overlapping disciplines from forensics and the life sciences to medicine, security, and wildlife biology. This book draws together related research into an interdisciplinary resource of science-based information. Providing a complete overview, from physiology to cognition, the book discusses working dogs from a scientific perspective. It covers a wide range of current and potential tasks, explores ergonomic and cognitive aspects of these tasks, and covers personality traits and behavioral assessments of working dogs.
