Description

Dogs are more than just pets - they can be the best friend you'll ever have.With What Dogs Want , you'll learn what your puppy or dog is trying to tell you through their body language or different barks, and discover the basics of modern dog-training for any age and breed. Every page has funny and affectionate illustrations that show you how to read a situation, and perfectly sum up what's going on in your dog's head (spoiler alert: usually it's playing, sleeping or eating...). This approach is led by love and encouragement, and means that once you've got the groundwork in, you can also deal with issues like the dreaded 'separation anxiety'. You'll also have the chance to play new games, develop communication skills and just relax into having tons of fun together. This is a simple guide for everyone that shows how understanding, affection and respect mean your dog is going to feel safe and live a contented life. Which means you will be happy too!
