ARe there any good book about dog signs and language? Like what a yawn means, and what looking away means, and such?
I just heard something about how humans are so vocal and the majority of our communication is vocal/verbal. But dogs are more smell, sight, then sound communicators.
This means our number one way of communication is their 3rd level of communication. So most of us are missing #1 and #2 when it comes to our dogs. We try to communicate vocally, but they are reading our smells and actions and body posture.
Then when they try to communicate with us, we miss it because we don't know what the posture or movement they are doing means.
That would be like me moving to china and not able to understand a word each other are saying.
Without help, many of us will never be albe to project leadership or fulfill our dogs.
One good book on leadership IMO is Cesar's Way, by Cesar Millan. Keep in mind this is not a dog training book, it is a book on how to act to become a leader.....but I have yet to find one on how to read the signs my dog is trying so hard to send me back.
