A good book: How to speak dog...
« on: January 30, 2008, 03:21:20 pm »
The full name is How to speak dog : mastering the art of dog-human communication. It was written by Stanley Coren. It's more like an academic work with fewer pictures to show how dogs communicate, but once I started reading, I found it's quite interesting and learned a lot about dog communication. ..
Has anyone read the book? Any comments?

Thanks

If you want to keep up reading it, my suggestion is reading from Chapter 6(barking, growling, and other sounds dogs make) or whatever topics that interest you, eitherwise it's pretty easy to get bored by the background information...

I have it and have read it and I think it is a great book..Having grown up around dogs..the ist time I read this book all I could think was how well he was able to state things I knew instinctively. .It was like haveing a conversation or listening to a conversation about dogs and communication. ...I really liked it and would recommend it highly to anyone interested in the subject...
