A groundbreaking visual guide to human--canine communicationFeaturing over 100 full--color action photographs, this unique visual learning resource demonstrates how to read a dog's body language and build understanding between dogs and people. Renowned pet expert David Alderton explains how to get inside a dog's mind, recognize signs of anger and aggression (and what should and shouldn't be done about them), "speak" with a dog in its own language, and foster practical two--way communication. Readers will discover how the positioning of a dog's ears and tail are clues to its mood, what role the human voice should play in communication, and how to build a fulfilling human--canine relationship based on mutual trust and respect. David Alderton (UK) is a bestselling pet book author whose books include International Encyclopedia of Pet Care (0--876--05547--1).
