Off-Leash Dog Play: A Complete Guide to Safety & Fun
A Book That Can Help With Introductions The observations and analyses of canine body language that are second nature to dog behavior professionals are sometimes a mystery to the owner trying to interpret the meaning of her own dogs body signals. This just-published book joins a growing list of excellent resources to help the dedicated owner learn more about what her dogs are communicating. The information in Off-Leash is comprehensible yet attainable, and the cost is within the budget of most dog owners. The book is liberally illustrated with excellent well-annotated photographs that clearly show and explain the rich variation of expressions that our dogs use as they meet, greet, and interact with each other. The text is science-based but very readable, with a clear bias toward positive training and management techniques in dog-human interactions. Although the intended audience for this book is comprised of professionals who work with canine playgroups, most of the information is hugely useful to anyone who has the opportunity to live in a multi-dog environment, including those who are looking to introduce a new canine family member to the home-pack.
