Synopsis

Misunderstanding canine body language can make day-to-day life more difficult for both dogs and their humans. This compact guide sets out to help you notice the small visual signals dogs use to express how they are feeling, with clear illustrations designed for side-by-side comparison of similar expressions and gestures.

It looks at how different parts of the body, including the ears, eyes, mouth, tail and posture, contribute to communication. The book also draws attention to cues that can suggest a dog is stressed or conflicted, encouraging closer observation of what your dog may be trying to convey.
