Dogs have an extensive and complex repertoire of body posture, tail and ear positions, eye contact, tactile gestures and many other forms of body language and vocalizations. Some are so subtle that they are easily missed unless you know how to spot them. Learn to speak their language so that you can reinforce the bond between you and your dog, better understand its needs and enjoy a happier and healthier companion. This isn’t a gimmick nor a mystical skill – it’s essential knowledge if you want your dog to be a secure and contented member of your household.
