Animal Behavior

Breland, Keller and Breland, Marian, Animal Behavior

This book is a reprint from 1966 with a new foreword by Bob Bailey. The first half of the book is about animal behavior as seen by scientists, who were graduate students of B.F. Skinner. The second part, Historical Photographs illustrates the work done at Animal Behavior Enterprises (ABE) where for 40 years, more than 15 000 animals of 143 species were trained. The last section, Selected Readings made me deepen my thinking about animals, our relationship with them and training.

Pretty costly (80$US), but I think it is an essential reading for animal behaviorist.

Available from Dogwise and Amazon.ca
