BODY LANGUAGE RESOURCES

Learning to read body language, in order to respond appropriately, takes time, observation, and practice. Remember that a dog may display more than one group of signals in the same situation. By reading the whole dog, the whole situation, and the whole context we get a better grasp of what the dog is communicating, what may happen next, and what our response should be.
