Summary: Reactive dogs, NO --Foster,rescue,shelter, vets, YES!
Comment: Dogs have shared my life for 15 years.
My adopted GSD mix (male) dog and I have been training for the past 7 months. I had hoped this book might provide some insights. It did -- but please do not try to get the attention of a high prey/protection drive adolescent dog, with the 'calming signals' -- yawning, head turns, blinking and lip-licking -- suggested by Rugaas.
Many of the author's examples of these 'calming signals' were descriptions of encounters that her DOGS had, calming other dogs.
For human-dog communication with an older, or calm dog, this is a great book. Steer clear if you think it might help your training of a young, reactive dog.
Thumbs up for rescue, shelter, foster and vets... all those who deal with many dogs over a period of time.

Summary: I wish my dogs would read this book :)
Comment: I think this book offers a lot of good advice. Unfortunately, when I need to tell my dogs to calm down, they are inevitably not looking at me to see my "calming signals". I do wish that we could meet with another dog that knows the language well enough to teach it to my dogs. When I was out on a walk this weekend, my dog rushed over to try to meet a much smaller dog who was out on a walk. This dog immediately laid down to try to get her to calm down, but she kept on straining against her leash. I was forced to just tug her along with me. I guess I just haven't yet figured out how to teach her to talk to other dogs yet. I will probably re-read this book and try to figure it out better.

Summary: Turid makes a really good point!
Comment: Dogs speak dog...and because of us (humans)...they forget their native language. thats why you get dogs that don't know how to socialize. if you read this...you wont have to pay for a dog trainer or behavioralist. this is about showing your dog to have confidence....and what's great is that she has really great techniques to teach your dogs things. and she updates her website a lot, so you can even ask her questions there!
