Write a commentDogs are experts at reading the body language of their human companions. It must seem odd to them we have such difficulty in reading theirs. Its true your canine companion spends a good deal of time daily watching and deciphering your every move. If you want to know what your daily routine is step-by-step, ask your dog.
Dogs communicate with one another and with us through the use of body language.
A person knowledgable about dog body language can look at a dog in a given situation and know if the dog is relaxed, aroused or fearful of its surroundings. For those of us who live and work with dogs, being able to recognize what our canine companions are saying can make the difference between an interaction having a happy or sad ending.

The bad news is we missed it, the good news is February is just as nice a month to train with your dog. We could all use a little more understanding, training with your dog helps bridge the gap between our two species.
