A dog’s body language communicates a multitude of emotions, but unless you happen to speak ‘dog,’ you may be misunderstanding what your best friend wants or needs. With the help of the new Dog Body Language Phrasebook, pups and their people will be on their way to better communication.
This book features 100 of the most common types of dog expression and is organized by categories of dog behavior, including contentment, anger, fear, playfulness, and interaction.
Each specified behavior features a photograph and caption that explains things such as the many different meanings of how your dog holds his tail and ears, or what the condition of his fur signals.
Helpful fact boxes include tips on choosing the right breed of dog, advice on how to help your dog cope with the stress of boarding kennels, and how to test your dog’s IQ.
Learn how to un-do bad behaviors like excessive digging, barking, and whining.
Dogs really are man’s best friend they’re the world’s most popular household pet. This unique picture-reference guide makes a valuable training tool or wonderful gift for dog lovers.

Dog body language
I bought this for a gift as we all swear that our animals say things to us. of course ours are always the smartest. but I have to say this dog is smart so that is why I gifted them with this book so they could better understand him.I did read a little of the book and thought is was very interesting. Don’t know if they enjoyed the book as didn’t hear.Thanks again AmazonDAC

Great read!!
This book was very informative and gave me much insight to my own dog’s behaviors and why dogs in general do what they do. This has made me aware of how to improve my relationship with my dog, make them happier, and know what the distress signs are. Highly recommend for all dog lovers.

We learned something new
The information presented was very interesting. We learned many new things about training and living with a dog. This book would be very useful for young people.

Cute book, nice photos.
Okay, so when I got it in the mail I thought, “oh no, it’s a kiddie board book” That’s what it looks like but it’s not.It’s had some good photos but I wanted a little more in-depth information. I’m good with having bought it I just wish there was more to it. When you look at purchasing this book just read the preview pages and if that is what you are looking for, it will be good.

Explaining doggy language
Since my dog can’t tell me what he wants, this book really helped explain some of his body language so that I now know what he wants, my little Schnoodle. As far as being in the wolf family, he certainly is a member of the pack.

Don’t bother
This is a pretty bad book, even for it’s intention. I expected some amount of insight and/or depth to what the author was saying. Even though it was purchased for my 9 year old, I found it too juvenile.

Well organized, provides some illustrations about dog behaviour. Good book for those who may be new to understanding dog behaviour. Easy to read and covers alot of common things to watch for.

Well produced with brilliant photography. Apart from the 100 tips, it has little snippets of information about famous dogs, events, and related animals.

This is a great little book, full of good useful stuff, and easy to read and understand. It’s also full of colour and great doggy pictures. I would recommend it to anyone wanting to learn a bit more about dog body language, which is how they communicate.
