 On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals January 7, 2008

This is a little book with a big punch. It is amazing to analyze some things that you take for advantage everyday. Just reading this book has helped me understand why my dogs behave the way they do in competition. I am a Type A personality and they are trying to calm me down in the ring. I found this book so valuable, I bought the DVD for our 4-H club youth to watch.
 Alright but not exceptional January 7, 2008

I read this book in about a half an hour. While there were interesting revelations I felt that not having a dog like the one owned by the author left me at a disadvantage (the dog sounded amazing). Most of the directions I've read in other books which were far more informative and entertaining. If you are looking for a simple read and basic instruction this may be the book for you.
Interesting but not very informational December 31, 2007

This book has some interesting insight but does not provide much practical advice on how to use the signals. Plus it does not seem to give many varied views.

This is an amazing book on dog language, specifically calming signals. A must read for the serious dog person.
DO YOU WANT TO UNDERSTAND DOGS? BUY THIS BOOK THEN! November 20, 2007

I have never owned a dog and still don't. But I love animals and agreed to walk my neighbour's 2 dogs on a regular basis. These dogs, while angels at home, bark at any stranger and other dogs even at a far distance. Frustrated and stressed with some professional advice that was engaged by their owners to help with the problem, I decided to trust my instincts and found this book, which helped me gain confidence in following my hunches and truly begin to watch and learn from the dogs. It's only been a month since I started walking the dogs (and I have never owned a dog before!) and even someone like me has managed to achieve unbelievable results! The insights provided by this book are priceless! Both the dogs and me are so happy now!
These dogs are fearful of strangers and other dogs and they pull while walking too! Besides Turid's books, I also found the book THE CAUTIOUS CANINE most helpful!
With just a couple of books, you can make you and your dog(s) very happy and stress free! Trust me! I'm living proof! - together with many other reviewers of this book!
The process of training the dogs is ongoing but so rewarding now! It does take patience and love but I achieved tenfold results in just 2 walking sessions!! (And mind you, they are not even my dogs!)
The reviewer that said that this book is interesting but useless should learn that his dog can teach him more than he's willing to admit to. Each dog is different and your dog will TELL you what he needs if you are receptive to LISTEN & WATCH him/her.
The result is a wonderful UNDERSTANDING RELATIONSHIP between you and canines! I find myself communicating with other dogs in the neighbourhood so easily now too!
It is REALLY AMAZING, INCREDIBLE and TRUE!
Thank you Turid.
