| I think this book offers a lot of good advice. Unfortunately, when I need to tell my dogs to calm down, they are inevitably not looking at me to see my "calming signals". I do wish that we could meet with another dog that knows the language well enough to teach it to my dogs. When I was out on a walk this weekend, my dog rushed over to try to meet a much smaller dog who was out on a walk. This dog immediately laid down to try to get her to calm down, but she kept on straining against her leash. I was forced to just tug her along with me. I guess I just haven't yet figured out how to teach her to talk to other dogs yet. I will probably re-read this book and try to figure it out better. |
