  <default_description>On Talking Terms with Dogs second edition with three additional chapters, color photos and descriptive captions. Turid Rugaas is a noted expert on canine body language, notably &quot;calming signals&quot; which are signals dogs give to other dogs and humans to denote stress and to attempt defuse situations that otherwise might result in fights or aggression. Written in practical, down-to-earth, logical language.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Dogs are unbelievably gentle and calm in reality.  To be a dog, completely under the power of a human means a privilege for the human.  It is truly lovely to start to read dog signals and in turn give signals to the dog, as my niece Meghna (who arrived 10 days ago) has shown with such success.

    <body><![CDATA[This very short book offers an introduction to understanding communication in dogs. One caveat is that it is important not to overanalyze your dog's behavior - when your dog turns his head,he may just be interested in something on the far side of the room, not trying to communicate with you. But the...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46857807">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[It's neat to be able to read my dogs' signals -- turning the head, the yawn, the play bow, etc -- each is a way for dogs to communicate -- being able to &quot;understand&quot; my dogs when they communicate with their bodies is so helpful.

Humans can use these body postures to calm dogs.<br/><br/>Very funny to watch dogs try to calm their owners!]]></body>
