內容簡介
內容簡介 在《你的狗是你的鏡子》一書中,訓犬師凱文.比漢(Kevin Behan)提出一種顛覆性的全新觀點來理解狗的行為:狗的行為與情緒,甚至其認知本身,都是由我們的情緒所驅動的。狗並不是回應主人的想法、言語或行動,而是回應主人的感受。也正因如此,狗其實能幫助人重新連結自己的情感。比漢指出,狗與人之間的連結比我們以往所能想像的還要深刻——那是來自「心」的連結。他的這套狗類認知觀點,也能幫助我們解釋許多狗看似難以理解的行為。這本開創性、發人深省的著作,為人與動物之間開啟了一扇全新的理解之門,也或許讓我們對自己有了全新的認識。In Your Dog Is Your Mirror, dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog's behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn't respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels. And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined -- by heart -- and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs' most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.
