| Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog by Dogwise Publishing Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog | This is one of the BEST books I think any dog owner can buy!
Especially, if you have more than one dog of your own.
I purchased it after recently acquiring a new puppy.
That makes 3 dogs currently.
One of the older dogs, gets along very well with the new puppy.
The other older (male - an alpha dog thing I guess) has not gotten along so well with the pup. It is NOT the puppy's fault, rather, I think I have a jealous old dog who thinks he owns me, and is 'guarding' me from this new intruder...
So, this book is full of photos with descriptions giving you guidelines of what the different body language (and some is VERY subtle) is telling not only you BUT, what it is telling the other dogs. Body language seems to be the key way a dog communicates with other dogs. Sometimes, we have to watch very closely to see a particular cue from the dogs themselves.
These cues, are easily noticed by other dogs and can forewarn of impending actions that may be about to happen...
such as snapping at the new puppy etc.
I love my older dogs, BUT, they MUST co-exist with the new one(s) and this is one way to help insure that they do.
Hopefully, old dog with learn to accept the pup.
I also purchased a wire muzzle for old dog. I do mean business! Being that the breeds I have a large dogs, I do not want to come in between the old dog and pup at the biting end with out protection.
I highly recommend this book for NICER aspects of dog ownership also.
It is fun to decipher with help of the book the different meanings of the "play time" body language as well.
Great for dog watchers, even if you do not own a dog, but just enjoy watching them (or if you were ever wondering about the dog coming towards you down the street while you are out jogging... and he is not with his owner OR on a leash :0 ). | | Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog by Dogwise Publishing Really helpful in understanding a problem dog | | I used Aloff's pictures and descriptions of dog body language to try to understand an adopted dog that I thought was showing signs of owner-directed aggression. He wasn't. He was trying to tell me a lot, but I hadn't understood it. After I studied the book, I changed my reactions and behaviors. We developed a very good and positive relationship. He "mellowed" according to other people. Actually, I think he finally felt that he belonged in this strange human pack. A very helpful and interesting book for anyone who deals with dogs. | | Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog by Dogwise Publishing Good, but.... | | Good, but could be a lot more professionally written and photographed for the price. The quality of the photos is only very average. The explanations for each picture are at times too brief leaving the reader a bit confused. For example, I found it frustrating to be told some behavior is a displacement signal or a negotiation signal, but not define what the author means by the term displacement, etc. I was rather disappointed in this book. | | Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog by Dogwise Publishing A great reference book. | | I originally borrowed this book from the library and quickly realized it is a book that I should own. The book is full of photographs detailing the body language of dogs. As one who fosters dogs, I found this information helpful and worth having on hand. I have also purchased Turid Rugaas's book on Calming Signals but would suggest that if a person is only going to get one book, that they get CANINE BODY LANGUAGE because it does a good job of covering the calming signals as well. | | Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog by Dogwise Publishing Great reference! | | I love learning new things about my dogs, and this book taught me a lot! | | Canine Body Language: A Photographic Guide Interpreting the Native Language of the Domestic Dog by Dogwise Publishing Product Description | | Dogs use body language to communicate with each other. Often times we humans get in the way of that natural communication because we don't understand it. We pull our leashed dog closer to us when we pass another dog. We tell our dog "no" when we see the lip curl at another dog. We interrupt their communication and then wonder why problems occur. Canine Body Language uses photos of dogs interacting with each other and their environment to teach us what they are thinking. It's simply amazing what you'll learn. Packed with photos, there are tons of examples each with an explanation. Learn how to interpret ear position, bared teeth, tongue flicking, yawning, sniffing and so much more. You'll begin seeing your dogs in a whole new light when you know what they are thinking. The author, Brenda Aloff, shows with a little practice and plenty of attention, you'll be able to anticipate your dog's actions and reactions. Training is so much easier when you know what they are telling you. (© 2005, Paperback, 157 pages) |

Playing with MarsEdit
O’Reilly: Giles Turnbull: Playing with MarsEdit: “I’ve been involved in the launch of a new web project during the last couple of weeks. Since it relied on heavy use of the Movable Type online publishing system, I thought it would be worth trying out one of the desktop weblogging applications that are floating around these days.”

Storage and re-use of images using PHP/GD - Part 1
evolt.org: “Publishing images on the web is nice, but tedious. It would be nice if we could use a system that automates the uploading, storage, converting and resizing of our images. We could feed that system our images once, and retrieve them later in many different formats.”
