Dogs closely observe their owners and can pick up on small nuances in body language to understand what will happen next or how their person is feeling at the moment. Non-verbal communication also plays a significant role in training. Dog owners can only understand their dogs if they interpret their behavior correctly. On the other hand, one's own body language can be purposefully used in training. For example, an upright, confident gait signals: "I know where I'm going and I have a clear view." Dogs respond to this with increased attention and willingness to follow. The book demonstrates how this works. It is a guide for every dog owner and the key to communication with their dog. An added bonus to the book: The Kosmos Info Line - personal advice from the author Johanna Esser.
