Read this book in an afternoon. Teaches you how to identify and replicate calming signals in dogs. A quirky, but useful reference.

I was introduced to this author and book by my all-time favorite horsewoman, Anna Blake, who also uses recognition and sharing of "calming signals" when working with horses.

It's a brief book, approx 70 pages, with many photographs to help readers understand what she describes, yet conveys so much important information few others are talking about.

If you know me, you know that I very rarely rate a book a 5. In the last 4 years tracking my books on Goodreads, I've read 1056 books, and only rated 34 of them a 5 of 5. This is one.

If you have a dog, come in contact with dogs, love dogs, are afraid of dogs, want to develop a better relationship with dogs, you should read this book.

мне было скучновато, но только потому что я знаю базу про сигналы примирения. ОБЯЗАТЕЛЬНО надо читать всем, кто ничего не знает про позитивную кинологию/собак. или просто хочет лучше общаться с животными, без насилия и говна

Much less of a “how to” than other pet books, this is an interesting overview of how dogs try and communicate with each other (and with us!), largely from anecdotal evidence. It’s a short book that’s well worth a read to get another perspective on canine behaviour.
