Often, when a dog owner finds that his pet has become excited, he can't tell if the excitement indicates joy or anxiety. This book shows how to pick up on all the signals that dogs send out through their voices, body language, postures, tail-wagging, and more. The Dog Decoder helps readers understand what dogs are trying to say to their human masters. Aided by vivid color photos, author David Alderton describes how dogs communicate inside the home, out on the street, encountering visitors and other animals, walking off their lead, and at play in the park. Alderton has carefully selected, captioned, and annotated photos to help fellow dog owners gain a clear understanding of their pet's behavior. He advises on how to predict a dog's reaction to a particular situation, enabling owners to use that knowledge for a more enriching and less stressful relationship with their dog. More than 100 color photos.
Dog lovers of all ages will delight in this treasure trove of canine images and tidbits. Over 500 full-color photographs showcase dogs in all their tail-wagging glory--from the irrepressible appeal of wrinkly puppies to the noble dignity of beloved older dogs, from endearing mutts to show-stopping purebreds. As with all titles in the Cubebook series, the pictures in this enchanting compendium have been selected based on the originality of their composition, and, in this case, the expressiveness of the book's furry subjects. Playful cocker spaniel puppies, loyal labs, and soulful hounds are captured in everyday moments that become magical through the lens of these expert photographers. Accompanied by informative captions written by distinguished naturalists, zoologists, and journalists, the images in Dogs will warm the hearts of dog lovers of all ages.The trademark three-dimensionality of the Cubebook format is ideal for conveying the energy, intelligence, and lovable nature of man's (and woman's and child's) best friend. The chunky format of this book, chock-full of colorful pictures, will bring special enjoyment to young readers.
