The Truth About Cats and Dogs

About this course

What is your cat revealing to you when she purrs? What is your dog expressing when he yawns or wags his tail? Understanding your cat and dog's behaviour and the way they communicate with you enables you to better understand their needs and strengthen your relationship with them: five topics — the appliance of science; behaviour and body language; senses and perception; challenges for the human-animal relationship, including pet problem behaviour; how to improve the quality of life for cats and dogs in our care; explore the world from their perspective, dispel common behavioural myths through a scientific lens, and discover scientifically validated methods to be a more educated and confident pet owner.
