Canine Sexual Behavior
Information on the fascinating and unique world of canine sexual and reproductive behavior. From Anestrus to Zygote!
If you are interested in truly understanding dog behavior, then you need to understand the many fascinating elements that govern canine reproduction. Sexual behaviors and parental behaviors are integral to every dog’s personality, and learning about these subjects provides profound insights into their lives. In fact, studying canine reproductive behavior can provide many insights into our own lives! And of course, if you’re a dog breeder, or you’re thinking of becoming one, then this course will be of immense practical benefit to you as well. Frankly, this course should probably be mandatory for anyone who’s interested in breeding dogs. No one should bring a new litter of puppies into this world if they have not educated themselves such that they will be able to do so responsibly. That means ensuring the puppies they produce will be healthy, well-behaved, well-socialized and will end up with responsible families who are capable of maintaining their care and training. Understanding the canine reproductive physiology and behavior is an excellent place to start.
