This is a very simple little book, but it has some of the most straightforward explanations of how to deal with dogs, especially those that are stressed.

Great information on how to approach a dog that may not be comfortable with you and how dogs show their discomfort. I consider it required reading for anyone who doesn't feel comfortable around dogs or anyone who loves dogs.

In this book, Turid identifies what she calls calming signals: "signals used by dogs to prevent things from happening, from avoiding threats from people and dogs to calming down nervousness and fear." Turid goes on to explain how dogs use calming signals, and how we, as dog owners, can use them as well with our own dogs.
