Good art, use spell checker!
Understanding Dog Language by Aude Yvanes has good line art in it. To go with the art is a description of the scene/dog language. There is about a paragraph an illustration but unfortunately there is so many spelling mistakes. Practically every page. There is not that many pages and only a paragraph or less a page, you would think it wouldn't be that difficult.

I’ll let you judge for yourself whether you want to waste your time reading this book by supplying you with some ridiculous quotes directly from the book below.
Be warned - there are adds sprinkled in the book for your enjoyment - one encourages you to get a sample of “the lemon miracle.”
The author consistently refers to the dog’s human as his “master”. I am not my dog’s master; my dog is my non-human companion. The only thing appreciated about this book was that the author did not refer to the dog as “it”.
“Praise him each time he comes back but above all don't tell him off if he doesn't come to you.”
“When it's towards a female, the raised tail means he wants to seduce her.”
“If you notice this behaviour when you're telling him off, lower your voice.”
“You can quickly see his ears lower when you punish your companion for being naughty.”

I think if you have 0 knowledge of dogs, know nothing and have spent no time around a dog, you would already know 70% of this book. Harshly, I’m glad it was a free book. I think there were 2 sentences I highlighted. One about the hyper visualization reaction and second was relative to the teeth chattering reaction, this out of 74 pages. It’s a good book to flip through and guess before you read it what that body language means but it lacks detail and other potential meanings.

It is nice to know others things I could teach my dog but it would be better if they have other books for female dogs that one was all male and I could barely learn anything from my dog.
I wrote I 4 star review because now I know more about dogs but not girl dogs and yes they are bothered different boy and girl dogs are different.

Really Not using spellcheck?
Thank God this was a free book, if I would’ve had to pay it I would’ve not been a happy camper here. The drawings were horrible a elementary school student could do better. Instead of HE’ LL they spelled out the word so evidently they didn’t use spellcheck. I recommend not to buy this book.

A quick read that is full of worth-while information aimed at broad audience.
First time dog owner, an old hand with a new dog in a bred you've not previously dealt with.
Most intriguing to me is the style. I wish I'd had this several years ago when I was accompanying my youngest grandkids down the "we want a dog" trail and struggling with the responsibilities that come along with ownership.

Pretty basic for an old timer
The book is easy to understand and recognize the behaviors being described. There needs to be some proof reading done bc there are a lot of "hell" instead of he'll in the descriptions. A few places where there's a missing word or incomplete spelling.

Very helpful book to understanding dogs. I had Kloe in mind as I know that as she tries to communicate with me.
I would recommend this book to others. I think my grandkids would enjoy it. It had many interesting topics to read about.

Was a relatively good read. The pictures were really helpful.
I would recommend this book to anyone who has not had a dog in a while as kind of a refresher course.

Might help a first time dog owner
Not a book I would recommend to someone who has had dogs for any length of time. If you have never had a dog it might help a bit.

Simplistic,
The book is simplistic but does the job for the new dog owner. The book is definitely a worth while resource, so read and legs review.

A complete waste of time. I don't think that this book was edited. Spelling was bad.
The title is misleading - I imagined a book with an in-depth comprehensive look at the topic.

Most of this information is obvious just from being around dogs. It might be useful for people who haven’t spent much time with dogs.

A freebie ebook.
The price was right. But I did not really learn much that I had not already figured out on my own. You can read it about as quickly as you can turn the pages.
Have a GoodReads.

Waste of time
Very little of this book is helpful. The typos make it hard to take seriously. The information is mostly anecdotal.

Moderate
It was a good book. Only bad thing is the author can't spell he'll and won't. But it's still a good book.

Good Dog!
Lots of good and useful information here in the short guide on how to interpret dogs’ body language. 🛑 There were a lot of misspelled words, though, throughout this book.
