He recommended the development of a new science, "ethology," whose purpose would be the explanation of individual and national differences in character, on the basis of associationistic psychology . This use of the word was never adopted, however. Differences and similarities with comparative psychology Ethology can be contrasted with comparative psychology , which also studies animal behaviour, but construes its study as a branch of psychology . Thus where comparative psychology sees the study of animal behaviour in the context of what is known about human psychology, ethology sees the study of animal behaviour in the context of what is known about animal

45. Submissive Urination In Dogs The causes are explained and an interactive solution suggested. http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/applied-ethology/behaviourproblems/suburine.htm

Submissive Urination in Dogs Many people are familiar with what is defined as the "submissive urinator"; the dog that urinates all over the floor, you the owner, and your guests, as soon as it becomes excited, aroused, or intimidated. It can be a frustrating and embarrassing problem, but fortunately is usually quite easily corrected. Puppies, especially shy, timid and oversensitive ones are the likely candidates for submissive urination, but it is not uncommon to see this problem persist into adulthood. There tends to be more females with this problem as well. Dog owners who are dominant and strict tend also to encourage a submissive relationship with their dog. Common situations where dogs get excited or fearful, and urinate are: -overaffectionate greetings -when you arrive home -guests entering your home -arguments between people -scolding -loud noises In order to understand this behavior, you must understand the language of dominance and submissiveness. Young puppies learn this from their mother. Gestures like averting eyes, rolling on their back, and urinating, are all used to express submissiveness. In situations where a dog feels intimidated, the proper learned response for them is to elicit some submissive signal to show the person or other dog that they recognize their dominance. Urination in this case is not deliberate or spiteful. To deal with this problem, the first thing that you must do is have your veterinarian examine your dog for possible physical abnormalities pertaining to this problem. Sickness and disease can cause difficulty for your pet to control their facilities. If physical problems prove to be the cause, discuss options specific to your dog's situation with your veterinarian as to your possible options (e.g. surgery, drugs, coping mechanisms).

50. Pica Behaviour In The Adult Dog Known as pica, this can cause serious health problems. The causes and solutions are explained. http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/applied-ethology/behaviourproblems/picabeh.html

Pica Behaviour in the Adult Dog A common problem in dogs is the ingestion of unnatural objects such as candy wrappers, toilet paper, or socks. Not only is this behavior a nuisance around the house, but the swallowing of non-food particles poses a serious threat to the health of the dog. The problem requires attention and treatment. The Causes of Pica Behavior Medical There are many medical conditions such as dietary deficiencies and esophageal dysphagia which should first be ruled out through a veterinarian's examination. In the absence of any physiologic or pathologic causes, there are a number of behavioral reasons for pica. To Gain Attention A dog can quickly learn that picking up a foreign object or a non-food item will gain the owner's attention. The attention provided by the owner can be rewarding and reinforced even though the reward is unintentional. Even if a scolding follows, this may act as a reward for a dog deprived of attention. Boredom Boredom or lack of exercise for long periods of time without companionship can play a major role in a dog's interest in chewing on non-food items. A dog with little to do in his day will "explore" behavioural activities, such as chewing on foreign objects. From Puppyhood Pica is often a carryover from puppyhood. Puppies which were orally oriented, encouraged to pick up objects and play with them, can retain the attribute into adulthood.

54. Excerpt From Donald R. Griffin, Animal Minds An excerpt from Animal Minds Beyond Cognition to Consciousness by Donald R. Griffin, the creator of the field of cognitive ethology. http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/308650.html

"The creator of the controversial field of cognitive ethology, Donald R. Griffin has spent more than three decades researching animal cognition. In a completely revised and updated edition of his classic, Animal Minds: Beyond Cognition to Consciousness, Griffin . . . discusses his own and others' research findings including those of his critics. . . . Griffin's book will enlighten, delight and even ruffle some feathers." Publishers Weekly "This is the book anyone interested in animal intelligence has been waiting for. Destined to become a classic, it is a brilliant synthesis of our current knowledge about the mental life of other species from the scientist who has contributed more to this subject than anyone else." Inside the Animal Mind and former host and executive editor of the PBS television series Nature "It is difficult for us to imagine effectively dealing with the external world without our ability of internal representation. Yet, it has almost universally been assumed that all other animals are optimally adapted while totally lacking any such ability. Is that assumption a fallacy, or does it encapsulate our scientific inadequacy? Donald R. Griffin is a pioneering scholar who does not cede the world of some animal's inner representation as an impossible barrier. Instead, he presents it as an exciting objective scientific frontier." Mind of the Raven An excerpt from Animal Minds Beyond Cognition to Consciousness by Donald R. Griffin

Contents What is cognitive ethology? Initial criticisms of cognitive ethology Links between philosophy and cognitive ethology Folk psychology and cognitive ethology ... consciousness, theory of mind, and evolutionary psychology What is cognitive ethology? The simplest characterization of cognitive ethology is that it is the marriage of cognitive science and ethology. But simple characterizations of any marriage should never be trusted, and this one masks some fundamental tensions between the two partners. Cognitive science is an umbrella term for convergent approaches to the study of mind in linguistics, artificial intelligence, cognitive psychology, and, increasingly the neurosciences. Cognitive psychology emerged during the latter half of the 20th century primarily as a laboratory science. Countless thousands of undergraduate students have partially met course requirements by reporting to fluorescent-lighted, windowless rooms in the basements of campus psychology buildings, where they have been subjected to questions about everything from nonsense syllables to subliminal visual cues, all in an effort to probe the inner workings of the sophomore mind. Modern neuroscience, with the advent of fMRI is increasingly shepherding these same students into brightly-lit rooms where they can perform similar tasks while their heads are encased by large magnets. Classical ethology has, on the other hand, typically emphasized the importance of observing animals under more-or-less natural conditions, with the objective of understanding the evolution, adaptation (function), causation, and development of the species-specific behavioral repertoire (

56. Thunderphobia In Canines How to recognise and deal with this common characteristic. http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/applied-ethology/behaviourproblems/thunder.html

Thunderphobia in Canines by Paul Neider Myth: "Dogs will eventually outgrow a fear of thunder or other loud noises without treatment." What is Thunderphobia? Thunderphobia can be defined quite simply and precisely as a fear of thunder. What is more difficult is understanding why dogs become "crazy", even during the mildest of thunderstorms. Also, since thunderstorms are under nature's control, can anything be done to stop these dogs from becoming destructive, afraid and uncontrollable? As a dog owner, the first step is realizing that loud noises such as thunder can terrify even the meanest of breeds. As well, it should be noted that age, sex and breed do not seem to be factors contributing to the fear of thunder. In fact, the sounds your dog may be terrified of may be too high or low for human ears to hear. In order to help your pet, a few simple techniques can be used. Recognizing the Sign The first step in helping a frightened dog is to recognize the signs suggesting fear. Minor fear responses include pacing, panting, remaining close to its owner and generally looking unsettled. These responses can happen hours before the storm has even occurred, since a dog's ears are one of their best sensory tools. During the peak of the storm, when thunder is at it's loudest, fear responses can become intense. Dogs have been known to hide, jump over fences or through windows, attempt to dig into the house and in extreme cases, collapse. It should be apparent that, to the dog, the only goal is to escape danger immediately. A terrified dog is unresponsive to food, or attention such as play or praise. If your dog exhibits any number of these signs or if you know your dog is thunderphobic, there are a few methods of treatment that can be used.

57. Cognitive Ethology: Annotated Bibliography Philosophy of Cognitive ethology Annotated Bibliography by Colin Allen. 1978. Prospects for a cognitive ethology. BBS 4 527538). http://host.uniroma3.it/progetti/kant/field/cethbiblio.htm

Philosophy of Cognitive Ethology: Annotated Bibliography by Colin Allen Rationale and organization of the bibliography A brief introduction to cognitive ethology can be found in the overview that accompanies this bibliography. Given the amount of indeterminacy about the boundaries of the field of cognitive ethology (discussed in the overview) there is corresponding indeterminacy about the scope of this annotated bibliography. With a few exceptions, I have decided to limit the entries to works in the philosophy of cognitive ethology, a nascent subspecialty straddling the borders of philosophy of mind, philosophy of biology, and philosophy of science. This is not to say that all the listed works are authored by professional philosophers - far from it - but works by professional scientists are generally limited to those that deal with methodological issues facing attempts to study animal cognition in natural conditions. Thus, in general, I have not included scientific papers whose primary contribution is empirical rather than theoretical, nor have I included pieces on the controversies surrounding ape language or `theory of mind' in primates which although of evolutionary interest have not generally been conducted in naturalistic settings. (Those looking for references into the broader scientific literature are referred to this unannotated bibliography Entries are arranged primarily in chronological rather than alphabetical order, except where it seemed natural to group works that form a single corpus, or to group critical articles with the items that prompted them.

59. Tail Chasing In Dogs Explains why this is not always a playful activity, and how to stop it causing injury. http://www.usask.ca/wcvm/herdmed/applied-ethology/behaviourproblems/tailchase.ht

Tail Chasing in Dogs Tail chasing, at first glance, may appear to be a normal component of play behaviour in dogs. Problems arise when such behaviour becomes excessive and the dog injures itself during the activity and when the dog cannot be distracted for other activities. Many would define tail chasing, or whirling, as a stereotypic behavior. Stereotypic behavior can be defined as a ritualistic, repetitive, constant sequence of movements appearing to serve no obvious function. Such behavior is often found in cases where animals are confined and where their behavior is restricted, but can be present in ordinary environments, as well. Tail chasing has also been known to be more common in certain breeds, such as Bull Terriers, indicating this behavior may be hereditary in some cases. Why Does Tail Chasing Occur? The primary causes of excessive tail chasing often involve aspects of learned behavior or medical problems or both. Behavioral causes: Attention-seeking, Boredom, Anxiety Tail chasing and other stereotypic behaviors may be a result of operant conditioning, a process by which a behavior is affected by its consequences and an association is made between a stimulus and a response. Because dogs are social animals, attention from the owner is often a positive reinforcer causing an increase in the frequency of the performed behavior whether the owner intends this or not. Even adversive attention may act as a positive reinforcer of the behavior, especially when the animal receives little owner attention in the first place. In this case, any attention the dog receives is highly rewarding. This type of behavior is known as "attention-seeking behavior".
