How To Speak Dog

Years ago, when we began fostering greyhounds, I decided that I'd better find some type of reference to 'fall back' upon if a problem arose.

I found this book by Stanley Coren, who has unlocked the hidden secrets of the hidden language of dogs. He draws these conclusions through years of experience, evoluntionary biology, and animal behavior. Problems like scratching in the dirt after going potty, or growling are discussed in this book. It has helped me understand how all dogs think...including greyhounds.

 

Hope this helps..

Completely agree. I'd put this book into the hands of every single dog owner on the planet, if I could, and make it required reading. I often recommend it. It's a GREAT primer on dog social behaviour!

 

I don't see why scratching in the dirt should be classified as a problem behaviour though. It's perfectly natural. :lol

Yep, I've read several of Coren's books and I really like him :)
