This review is from: Dogspeak: How to Understand Your Dog and Help Him Understand You (Dog Care Companions) (Paperback)

I always knew she had lots to say but I had no idea how much. Now I can begin to try and understand her and have her understand me. I found the information fascinating and informative and have developed a whole new appreciation of the emotional complexity of our canine family members and how easily we can misunderstand them.

This review is from: Dogspeak: How to Understand Your Dog and Help Him Understand You (Dog Care Companions) (Paperback)

Dogspeak is one of many dog behavior books I have purchased in the hope of solving a few behavior problems. This book was not the solution to my dog's problem, but it did provide good information for interpreting a dog's body language. I found the photos of different ear and tail positions particularly useful.
