Finished Book: On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals

I'm on fire!  Woo-hoo!  I plowed through Turid Rugaas' 73 page book this afternoon and what a lovely read.  I highly recommend the publication to anyone with a dog (whether you are a trainer or not) to gain a better understanding of a dog's native tongue...using their bodies in a highly sophisticated manner to communicate calming signals. 

D.B.N. Library Additions

More books are on the way for the Holder D.B.N. library!  Super excited to get them...should arrive next week.  I don't know what order I'll be tackling them in, but will probably read Bruce Fogel's book first.

First up, and one that I should have had a long time ago, Karen Pryor's Don't Shoot the Dog! The New Art of Teaching and Training.

Next, Turid Rugaas' On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals.

And lastly, Bruce Fogel's The Dog's Mind: Understanding Your Dog's Behavior.
