Dogs are nonverbal communicators. How often have we wished to know what was in their thoughts, what they were trying to tell us? Turid Rugaas has found a way. Turid has a special insight to canine body language. To date she has identified numerous distinct body postures which, alone or in combination, can provide us with vast quantities of useful information about our pet.

Just found stuff about "Calming Signals" in dogs. I put Chewey into one of his situations where he seems "willfull" to me. Then I tried the advice in this article. Not only did he snap-to, but he then was happy to do as I asked! It seems that what I mistook for "Tude" was really his attempt to tell me that he was stressed out and needed reassurance.
