Anthrozoology & Animal Training E-book

Delve into the evolving landscape of anthrozoology and its transformation from a scientific discipline into an ideological movement. This book intricately examines the complex tapestry of human-animal science, exploring trends in animal training and clarifying the domains of animal welfare, ethics, scientific research, and learning methodologies.


By exploring the nature of communication, bonding, and empathy across species, it navigates the intricate world of human-animal studies, bridging gaps between anthrozoology, ethology, behaviorism, and neuroscience.


From the foundational principles of ethology to the practical aspects of behavior modification and unique models of applied anthrozoology, gain insights from the author's experience and research.


A must-read for researchers, practitioners, and enthusiasts, this book offers a critically needed and provocative perspective on preserving the essence of the scientific method while embracing necessary empirical horizons and a paradigm shift in this field.
