Book Description
In this book, Turid identifies what she calls calming signals: "signals used by dogs to prevent things from happening, from avoiding threats from people and dogs to calming down nervousness and fear." Turid goes on to explain how dogs use calming signals, and how we, as dog owners, can use them as well with our own dogs.

 Fantasically great June 22, 2008
I cannot believe how much this book helps me communicate with my reactive dog. I have a small library of dog books and by far this little book outshines them all.
I also foster dogs and this helps me get acquainted with all the different breeds and the author is right they (dogs) all speak the same language.
You have to be smart enough to apply the techniques. I've read some real stupid reviews.
 Good ideas May 14, 2008
Short book, easy read, good ideas... I enjoy learning about dogs and have been using the ideas daily.
Calming signals May 12, 2008
I have been a dog owner for years. After reading this book, it has been interesting to observe my own and other dogs with a new depth of understanding, and to be able to communicate with them more easily. It's easy to forget that dogs have no verbal language as we do and can easily misunderstand our words and actions, as we can misunderstand theirs.
 Okay April 30, 2008
I found the information of body language to be interesting, but limited. I was really expecting more information to make a difference with training and understanding dogs.

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.
