This book was just "ok". It does describe what a dog's body language might mean, but in one chapter it says it means this, in another chapter it means that. Of course being human we can only TRY to interpret what something means, but I found this book a bit contradictory.
What I was looking for specifically, was a guide to on how to react to those signals in a positive way. This book only describes how another dog is reacting to those signals, (by showing you a blurry picture of 2 or 3 dogs interacting) whether it be good or bad reaction. It gave me no insight as to how to communicate better with my dog. Only what a dogs body movement may/may not mean.
If you just want to observe dogs, and guess what they might be thinking, this is the book for you.
If you want to learn a way to communicate with your dog better, look else where. I know I am.

This book is amazing! I bought it to understand what my dogs are saying to me and it works! I now know my English Cream Retriever speaks fluent dog and my Newfador speaks another language! I am amazed at the accuracy of the pictures and descriptions. I waited a long time for this to be available electronically so I can take it with me when I travel. I recommend this book to anyone that owns a dog or knows a dog or may come across a dog in their life.
