this is a guide to dog signs of their mood. it is great and informative with example pictures and easy reading

Pros: helps read body language

Cons: none really

Want read dogs like a book? Then here's a book you oughta have. OK, it's not near that simple.

The book has lots of pics which is important when discussing body language. My only gripe is the quality of the pictures. It can be difficult to see some of the facial details that are being described in the text. I understand that the pictures used are not ones that can be posed and reshot as needed, but printing the book on higher quality, semi-glossy paper would have helped a lot.

Pros: Lots of pictures to demonstrate body language

Cons: Picture quality could be better

This is a wonderful book for anyone that works with dogs or has a multi-dog household. I was previously employed in a position working with large dogs and this book was very helpful in supplementing my knowledge of dog body language. I even used it when we added our 2nd puppy to our home. Dogs don't communicate with words...they only communicate with body language, so it is so important that we are able to understand what their language is telling us.

Pros: Lots of photos depicting dog body language

Cons: None

This book is truly one of the 10 or so must own book's for any dog owner or trainer. It's is jammed packed with viasual information on what your dog is trying to communicate through body language. As many folks mentioned, some of the photos as grainy and not terribly clear in what they're trying to communicate... but that's a minor complaint.

You'll refer to this book for years to come to refresh your memory on a particular troubled dog.

Pros: Incredibly informative

Cons: As mentioned, the photos could be a little better

this book is nice because it has pictures so you can see what canine body language looks like instead of just discriptions. It is a must for those working at a shelter, and good for anyone who wants to understand their dog better.

Pros: good pictures, informative

Cons: none
