“Calming signals, the basics of canine communication” by Turid Rugaas

In this book, Turid Rugaas offers us an invaluable gift on canine communication that helps us, masters, educators or competitors, to stay in tune with our dog.

You will learn how to identify stressful situations for your dog, retrain a dog that has lost its ability to interact socially, become a subtle observer of your dog's behavior in order to obtain better behavior and build a better relationship with him.

With this book, you will be able to learn to recognize these communication signals, called appeasement signals, and to use them yourself to interact with your dog or the dogs of other owners.
