 on talking terms with dogs -calming signals March 22, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
Not worth the money - unless you fine it for about 2 bucks. If you have dogs it is things you will already know. There was maybe one thing I didn't know. It is very basic. Go to the library and read it for free. If they don't have it - don't bother.
 On Talking Terms w/Dogs: Calming Signals February 27, 2008

I have now read and used all three of Turid Rugaas's books.
I have assigned this one as reading material for all of my 24 Training Instructors. Along with several of the trainers which have also shown and bred dogs for over 20 years; we all will be giving out one of these books to each person buying a puppy or adopting a rescue. This is a MUST have for anyone wishing to own, already owning a canine, and wish to participate in activities such as going to dog parks, attending public classes and competitions. It pays to know what the dogs "are saying to each other", will this be a friendly encounter or should you intervene?
helped me rehabilitate an abused rescue dog February 23, 2008

This book was incredibly helpful. After having dogs all my adult life I adopted a very traumatized rescue golden retriever. Because my dog had been an abused, starved, caged "puppy mill" mother for many years, she was frightened of everything and very concerned that I might harm her.
This book helped me to see really clearly how my dog was feeling (by watching for "calming signals"), and it helped me to know exactly how I could help her feel more safe. Today my rescued golden is a happy, loving, and well-adjusted dog.
Turid Rugaas is a kind, wise woman who loves and understands dogs. You will really enjoy her book. It is succinct, readable, and easily understood-- a real gem. There is also a nice DVD with the same title.
If you have a dog you need this book! February 18, 2008

Wow, I learned so much about my dog in one evening of reading. It's amazing. It's like learning to speak in sign language with your dog. I learned that she has been talking and I had no idea what she was saying. My 'difficult' dog isn't so bad now that I have put to use the things I learned here.
It's a fast easy read and has a lot of helpful photos. I would have paid twice as much for what I learned from this book.
Very helpful for understanding man's best friend February 2, 2008
