Product Description: A groundbreaking visual guide to human-canine communication

Featuring 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).
