Description
Understanding canine body language is essential for building a strong bond with your dog. Norwegian dog trainer and behaviourist Turid Rugaas has spent her career studying canine social interaction, and her work has led to the development of the concept of 'calming signals'.
These subtle social skills allow dogs to avoid conflict, invite play, and communicate a wide range of information to other dogs. By learning to identify situations that are stressful to your dog, you can take steps to resolve or avoid them, and even rehabilitate a dog that has lost its ability to read or give these signals.
This book provides a comprehensive guide to canine body language, helping you to better understand and respond to your dog's needs. With its clear and practical approach, it's an invaluable resource for dog owners and professionals alike.
