A groundbreaking visual guide to human–canine communication

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.
