"Educators and students alike are constantly searching for the
perfect balance of depth and breadth in a text, attempting to find
the single source that will simplify their lives. Some texts are
research dense but narrowly focused. Others cover a broad spectrum
of topics in a given area but do not go into the related research
in any depth. When it comes to dog behavior, Steven Lindsay's
Handbook of Applied Dog Behavior and Training may indeed be "just
right."

those engaged in the field of dog behavior and training."
