## Description

There are probably times when you wish you knew what your dog was thinking. From tail wagging to growling, from play bowing to lip licking, this fascinating book explains why your dog behaves the way he does. What Is My Dog Thinking? covers six major aspects of dog behavior: the importance of hierarchy, food and fitness, staying safe, reproduction, social behavior, and people and dogs.

Review: Interesting book on dog body language - Although we expect dogs to understand our verbal and non verbal cues, our human instinct is often misleading in the interpretation of dogs inner feelings and motivations. The book of Gwen Bailey, an animal behaviorist, is a good introduction to dog body language. Each dog behavior associated to a motivation or inner feeling about a specific situation - i.e., fear, uneasiness, invitation to play, excitement, hierarchy, guarding the territory, and others - is clearly illustrated with pictures. The position of ears, tail, mouth and body; the look of the eyes, the rising of dorsal fur and others physical expressions are contextualized and translated into meaningful signals. In particular, I found revealing the different nuances of response to human displays of affection which are unpleasant for dogs (i.e., being stroked in body areas where they do not like to be touched, or being held in positions that they do not perceive as 'safe'), but are accepted nonethess because they trust the human. Overall a good read even for seasoned dog owners. Definitely adds insight to human-dog relationship.
Review: Best dog-insight book ever (IMO!) - I Absolutely LOVE this book, in fact I’ve literally bought maybe 10 or more copies to share with friends, family, and neighbors. The way it’s written from the perspective of the dog being the writer-is insightful, enlightening, and best of all...hilarious! All which help me remember the signals to let me know what the dog is communicating. It’s a fun, easy read and I would say for all ages. Lots of great photos. I’ve had Greyhounds and some of my best memories of my late Greyhound “Slim’s” antics are on display with a dog in this book. Highly recommended!

*by G***N on October 5, 2021*

A great book for dog people. Plus for non dog people to learn about dogs. I loaned my book to my cat lady friend so she'd understand my dog better.
