It is an excellent insight in to the world of dogs. Very good examiniation of dog body language. By learning to pay attention to your dogs posture, you will know what it is thinking before it does. Remember there are no dumb dogs, just dumb owners. Learn to understand your animal. Read this book. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: A great resource, 2008-06-03 I bought this book after our trainer let us borrow hers for a while. There is more information than I could ever remember, so it's very useful as a reference. Dog behavior is often very different from human behavior (e.g., among dogs avoiding eye contact is considered polite) and this book helps make sense of what is really going on with them, making it possible to stop problem behavior before it begins. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog , 2008-05-14 This is one of the BEST books I think any dog owner can buy! Especially, if you have more than one dog of your own. I purchased it after recently acquiring a new puppy. That makes 3 dogs currently. One of the older dogs, gets along very well with the new puppy. The other older (male - an alpha dog thing I guess) has not gotten along so well with the pup. It is NOT the puppy's fault, rather, I think I have a jealous old dog who thinks he owns me, and is 'guarding' me from this new intruder... So, this book is full of photos with descriptions giving you guidelines of what the different body language (and some is VERY subtle) is telling not only you BUT, what it is telling the other dogs. Body language seems to be the key way a dog communicates with other dogs. Sometimes, we have to watch very closely to see a particular cue from the dogs themselves. These cues, are easily noticed by other dogs and can forewarn of impending actions that may be about to happen... such as snapping at the new puppy etc. I love my older dogs, BUT, they MUST co-exist with the new one(s) and this is one way to help insure that they do. Hopefully, old dog with learn to accept the pup. I also purchased a wire muzzle for old dog. I do mean business! Being that the breeds I have a large dogs, I do not want to come in between the old dog and pup at the biting end with out protection. I highly recommend this book for NICER aspects of dog ownership also. It is fun to decipher with help of the book the different meanings of the "play time" body language as well. Great for dog watchers, even if you do not own a dog, but just enjoy watching them (or if you were ever wondering about the dog coming towards you down the street while you are out jogging... and he is not with his owner OR on a leash :0 ). 1 of 1 found this review helpful: Really helpful in understanding a problem dog, 2008-04-12 I used Aloff's pictures and descriptions of dog body language to try to understand an adopted dog that I thought was showing signs of owner-directed aggression. He wasn't. He was trying to tell me a lot, but I hadn't understood it. After I studied the book, I changed my reactions and behaviors. We developed a very good and positive relationship. He "mellowed" according to other people. Actually, I think he finally felt that he belonged in this strange human pack. A very helpful and interesting book for anyone who deals with dogs. 5 of 6 found this review helpful: Good, but...., 2008-02-18 Good, but could be a lot more professionally written and photographed for the price. The quality of the photos is only very average. The explanations for each picture are at times too brief leaving the reader a bit confused. For example, I found it frustrating to be told some behavior is a displacement signal or a negotiation signal, but not define what the author means by the term displacement, etc. I was rather disappointed in this book.
