The Secret Language of Dogs
The Secret Language of Dogs: Unlocking the Canine Mind for a Happier Pet | Victoria Stilwell
4 posts | 1 read
The star of Animal Planets Its Me or the Dog Victoria Stilwell reveals how to both interpret and speak the hidden language of dogs. Recent studies into the minds of canines show that they have a rich social intelligence and a physical and vocal language as complex and subtle as our own. In this fun and fascinating guide, world-renowned trainer Victoria Stilwell explores the inner world of dogs. This book is your guide to understanding your pooch, communicating effectively, strengthening your bond, and helping dogs learn in the most effective way possible so they feel confident navigating the human world with success. Along the way, youll learn the answers to questions such as: What do different tail wags mean? What does being right-pawed say about my dogs personality? How can I tell the difference between boredom barking and warning barking? What does it mean when my dog spins around, arches his back, or gives me the whale eye? Do dogs feel guilt? How do dogs perceive human faces? Why do some scientists think dogs emotional experience is even greater than ours? Filled with adorable full-color photographs and instructive illustrations, this insightful dog decoder will soon make you dogs best friend. From the Trade Paperback edition.

12 of the 21 #dogbooks on my 2021 reading goals list. These are #nonfiction but I do have some fiction selections as well. Looking forward to a better reading year with more time spent snuggled up with my pups, coffee, and a variety of good reads. #bookhaul

bookishbitch Lots of great choices there! 3y
DogMomIrene @bookishbitch Thanks! I had a few, but then I went overboard with the Black Friday/Cyber Monday Dogwise sale. 3y
bookishbitch Dogwise is great! I highly recommend The thinking dog by Gail Fisher if you don't already have it. 3y

DogMomIrene @bookishbitch I just added that one to my Goodreads TBR, which I consult when buying books online. It looks really good. I use a clicker when I train tricks, but I‘m pretty uncoordinated with it.🤣 3y
bookishbitch You are not alone. Clickers can take some time to learn good timing. This is the reason they have chicken training camps! Some dogs can learn a verbal marker too. (Like the word "yes" for example.) And kikopup on YouTube has some great videos. 3y
DogMomIrene @bookishbitch Yes! And that‘s my verbal marker for my two for most of our training😂 I like knowing that when we‘re out, my dogs will respond to a variety of cues, including Yes! But I see how advantageous clickers can be for precision, and for me that‘s tricks at this point. 3y
bookishbitch Tricks are awesome for keeping dogs engaged. And learning to think outside the box. Plus they are just plain fun. 😊 3y
