Summary: Understood more
Comment: I have read this book TWICE since I bought it and find myself referring back to it on occasion. My husband is reading now and my sister is next in line for it next.
The author has explained the "whys" for the actions of our Standard Poodles, although I understood many of their actions out of experience with the breed my entire life.
Our poodles are both registered therapy dogs, and it's important to us to understand their reactions in various situations when they are "working". There is no reason to let them become stressed when we can help them out or remove them from a situation.
I would urge anyone who wants more understanding of their dogs to read this book. Read it twice and underline it the second time.

Summary: feeling guilty about this review
Comment: so many good reviews- I dont know, this book was a no-brainer. I mean body language for dogs is simular to adults sort of. I was really surprised this book was like a brochure very thin -if it had more solutions than explainations Id found it helpful..maybe I was looking for a solutions based book instead and not a book about the language of dogs- I barked up the wrong tree on this one... wish I could say it was a good purchase but for me - it wasnt

Summary: It opened my eyes to a whole new world
Comment: This little book (and an accompanying video) opened my eyes to a new world (for me!!) I knew little of dog body language at the time, and most of what I had been told was erroneous. I use the "calming signals" knowledge routinely with my dogs, particularly because my Airedale, Border Terrier, and Blue Heeler live inside with me and can really cause chaos. I have learned to read what the dogs are saying to each other and to me. And it has motivated me to both read and study dog behavior -- a fascinating subject. This was the beginning of a better dog trainer and most importantly a much better dog owner.

Summary: disappointed
Comment: I was very disappointed in this book. I expected to learn much much more. There was no depth or insight in this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Calm dogs equal good dogs
Comment: A light book with some good advice but not a book that should be taken in its entirety as a failsafe "How to".
Some of the advice is vague and some of the behavioural signals written about are confusing as too are many of the guides.

Editorial Reviews:
|
In this book, Turid identifies what she calls calming signals: "signals used by dogs to prevent things from happening, from avoiding threats from people and dogs to calming down nervousness and fear."Â Turid goes on to explain how dogs use calming signals, and how we, as dog owners, can use them as well with our own dogs.
