 No dog owner should be without it September 28, 2007
Turid Rugaas has done a great service for dog owners, and students of dog behavior ... and especially for the dogs themselves. Can you imagine being able to tell what your dog is feeling, and when he is becoming uncomfortable, at a glance? With "Calming Signals", you can do just that. You'll have a clear and concise guide to canine body language that will always give you an edge to helping your dog move though life with clear communication and canine comfort.
Do you think that a dog licking his lips must be hungry? Or that he's always happy when he wags his tail? Or averting his eyes and refusing to meet your or another dog's gaze is a sign of shyness? Think again, and pick up a copy of this book!
It's a brief text, which takes no more than a few hours to read, but will give back a lifetime of understanding between you and your canine friend. "On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals" is a title that should be found on every dog lover's bookshelf.
 Interesting but useless, from a practical sense September 20, 2007

Interesting to understand dog behavior BUT she doesn't explain how to apply it to teaching your dog, she only explains how to watch for signs that you are overwhelming your dog. My dog ignores my yawning, licking, blinking and looking to the side. I guess if a strange dog attacks me I know to sit down with my back to it (yeah, sure). I'd love to attend her classes but this book is NOT worth owning. Borrow it and read it.
Extremely useful Information August 27, 2007
I have a couple of unusual dogs-one horrifically abused and the other feral. The clear photos and simple text made reading their "dog language" very easy. I've had dogs all my life and I learned a lot from this little book.
 Newbie interest only... August 7, 2007

A tiny book and you may feel disappointed over the cost for that volume. I don't believe that the purpose of the book was truly reached because it wasn't explained from the start. It meanders over the different physical cues that dogs use with each other in order to calm other dogs. It suggests if you watch for these cues and perhaps mimic them that you too will be able to communicate the need for a calm behavior from the dog. I suppose if someone were completely new to observing animals and humans that this could be considered inspirational. But I don't find that many people who are so inclined to learn more about communication between species will be greatly rewarded.
Turid Knows Her Stuff July 21, 2007

This book was recommended to me by one of my veterinarian mentors who has an amazing ability to reach out to dogs. I was anxious to know her secrets, so she insisted I buy "On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals." I will never regret taking her advice. Turid has found a peaceful, non threatening way to speak canine language. Her ideas are fun and easy to use, and with patience, they really work. I am very scientific and am therefore skeptical of people who claim to "speak dog," but I think this book is quite legit. Plus it comes with lots of photos and case studies.
