Re: dog body-language - and why it matters so much...
Years ago, when I opened my mind and decided to get more educated in canine body language, my world opened up as well!
 I wish I had learned it sooner and you know what? It is so simple to learn as well! It helped me train my own dogs as I learned to recognise stress instead of 'just assuming', it helped me teach people with theirs because I was able to show them what their dogs were actually conveying and it even helped me to catch shy and difficult to catch dogs when I was a dog warden.  The downside of course was the fact that I did not enjoy dog shows of any sort so much as I could pick out all the ones who were stressed by their handlers actions or the atmosphere.  That was balanced out by those who were happy and relaxed though as of course, dog shows whether beauty, obedience or agility etc are not the problem, the handlers were because of their own lack of knowledge where canine behaviour and body language.

thank U very kindly
thanks so much to the mod(s) for the sticky!
 body-language is so important, and newbies miss it except for Huge Signals - like growls, lunging, bolting in panic, and so on; where if they can see the early signs, much heartache is prevented. gratefully, --- terry
