Understanding Your Dog's Language
 Sometimes
there are books like this one written
for grown-ups that just have to
be shared with kids. Or, possibly,
kids who are good readers might
want to read it first and then share
it with their dad or mom. One of
these is Dogspeak, with the
subtitle How to Understand Your
Dog and Help Him Understand You.
The colorful paperback is a
recent addition to a series called
"Dog Care Companions."
The series is aimed at pet lovers and talks about your dog's behavior, health care, training, and communication. Of course, Dogspeak is the one about communication. It tells about how to talk to your dog, how dogs talk to other dogs, and how dogs talk to people. It explains what different barks mean and how dogs and people talk to each other through their body language. In its later chapters it tells how to use your voice, hand signals, and treats to train your dog to be a good friend and companion.
Beautiful pictures of many different breeds of dogs are used to illustrate the points made in the book. This 1999 publication is from Rodale Press, Inc. and distributed by St. Martin's Press. The paperback version is $14.95 in bookstores. |
