Book Reviews of Dog Language

Book Review: A must have for dog owners anf trainers.
Summary: 5 Stars

I have recently put together a risk assesment plan for primary school children in a public park, of course with dogs. The images and information in this book has helped me greatly and has helped me teach young children how to read a dogs body language. Something that I think all children should be tought, at least basic knowledge so they can judge for themselves if they think a dog is being freindly or aggressive and to learn when is best to give a dog affection.
A brilliant read for understanding of the Canines body language both towards us humans and other dogs therefore I must reccomend that all pet dog trainers etc should def give this book a go. I am a dog walker and find after reading this book I can have alot more control over my dogs and can evaluate certain situations before they escalate making my life easier and the dogs life much happier. Viccy :0)

Summary of Dog Language

Dog Language tells us why dogs do what they do and how we can express ourselves so that our dogs can understand us better. It is a systematic book, ordered alphabetically with 293 entries and 94 beautiful drawings illustrating over 150 different dog expressions.

First published in Scandinavia in 1986 as Hundesprog?, this book became a great success and has since then helped many thousands of dog owners, instructors, behavior students, and veterinarians to understand dogs. Now available in English, the present edition of Dog Language is an updated, highly revised and enlarged version of the original Hundesprog?.

Following the traditions of the school of ethology founded by Konrad Lorenz, Dog Language is based on many hours of research, observation, and study. Dog Language is a no-nonsense book, written in a modern, uncomplicated style?a book for all readers with interest in dogs, wolves and other canids.

?Dog Language is a book that will benefit anyone interested in what makes our dogs tick. It is a must for the professional dog handler or behaviorist, as well as any pet owner. Dog Language is well organized and written in a clear, easily understood manner. The beautiful illustrations help to explain what our canine companions are trying to communicate to us and each other. This is a rare opportunity to tap into the talent and expertise of a well known canine ethologist.? Sandy Myers (President of Narnia Pet Behavior, member of the APDT and NADOI)

?If we are to understand the domestic dog?s natural behavior, we must appreciate his social heritage and the adaptive significance of his many complex behavior patterns. Roger Abrantes? book Dog Language provides this knowledge, and presents it in an easy to use and understand format. This encyclopedia of canine behavior is absolutely a must for all serious students of canine behavior and training!? Linda P. Case (Lecturer in Companion Animal Science, University of Illinois, Dept. of Animal Science)
