"It is a book that every new dog owner should have a copy of. One can learn so much by watching the dogs expressions and this book tells you what each one means, A lot of trainers could really use this book, and there would likely be a lot less dogs in the shelters if the owners had studied this book when they first got their pup. It is the way your dog talks to you, all you have to do is listen and learn what each expression means. Loved the book." ~Joanne Chanyi
