Product Description
A simple guide to learning, recognizing and returning body language that your dog understands. Dogs, being pack animals, have many methods for communication. The quickest and most effective method is through the use of body language. Dogs will always attempt to be comfortable in any situation, and this book shows you what they are telling you they need to achieve that comfort environment. In this second edition of Turid Rugaas' "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals", three chapters have been added, and the illustrations have been replaced with photographs. (2nd Edition, 2006, Paperback, 78 pages)

 Good ideas May 14, 2008
Short book, easy read, good ideas... I enjoy learning about dogs and have been using the ideas daily.
 Calming signals May 12, 2008
I have been a dog owner for years. After reading this book, it has been interesting to observe my own and other dogs with a new depth of understanding, and to be able to communicate with them more easily. It's easy to forget that dogs have no verbal language as we do and can easily misunderstand our words and actions, as we can misunderstand theirs.
 Okay April 30, 2008
I found the information of body language to be interesting, but limited. I was really expecting more information to make a difference with training and understanding dogs.

Not worth the money - unless you fine it for about 2 bucks. If you have dogs it is things you will already know. There was maybe one thing I didn't know. It is very basic. Go to the library and read it for free. If they don't have it - don't bother.

I have now read and used all three of Turid Rugaas's books.
I have assigned this one as reading material for all of my 24 Training Instructors. Along with several of the trainers which have also shown and bred dogs for over 20 years; we all will be giving out one of these books to each person buying a puppy or adopting a rescue. This is a MUST have for anyone wishing to own, already owning a canine, and wish to participate in activities such as going to dog parks, attending public classes and competitions. It pays to know what the dogs "are saying to each other", will this be a friendly encounter or should you intervene?
