Norwegian dog trainer and behaviorist Turid Rugaas is a noted expert on canine body language, notably calming signals, which are signals dogs use to avoid conflict, invite play, and communicate a wide range of information to other dogs and people. These are the dogs' attempt to defuse situations that otherwise might result in fights or aggression.

Learn to identify situations that are stressful to your dog so that you can resolve or avoid them.

Rehabilitate a dog that has lost her ability to read or give calming signals.

Become a keen observer of canine behavior at home, in the community, and among dogs to get better behavior and build a solid relationship.

I personally owe Turid a great debt because her work validated my observations that dogs are trying very hard to talk' to us. This book was my guide and added amazing volume to my knowledge base. Her book provided the confidence to continue watching and interpreting. What a lovely gift!
