On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals 
asked by hooked on November 13, 2006 7:02 PM
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.

A very easy read with lots of pictures. If you own or work with dogs, this book is a great to help you understand their body language and how dogs communicate with each other and us.

Definitely not worth the money. It is a book that is beyond the basic dog training world. The title is very misleading. The author's interpretation of calming signals is somewhat helpful but not for the beginner. I found many dogs especially my own, yawn for other reasons than just trying to calm situations around them. It is not very precise and confusing.
