On Talking Terms With Dogs
Calming Signals
By Turid Rugaas
The world of the wild dog is a volatile place. Contstant tensions and hazards create a lot of stress. It is this world from whence all of our companion dogs evolved. Calming signals used by wild dogs are, as the author states, "a life insurance policy". In this brief but fascinating and well-illustrated book, the communication signals used by dogs to reassure each other are carefully deconstructed and decoded by the author so that humans can understand - and even use them to help calm our own dogs! This book is a real "Rosetta Stone" for dog-to-human understanding. Strongly recommended.
