“Why does my dog do that?” It’s a question every dog owner has asked—whether their best friend is growling at an unseen foe, or rolling in an objectionable scent. Now, world-leading canine experts and fellow dog-lovers Melissa Starling and Paul McGreevy are here with all the answers:
- How dogs use body language to communicate (with both people and other dogs)
- What motivates dogs (and what doesn’t)
- Rules for canine contentment (for example, most dogs don’t enjoy hugging)
- Subtle signs of discomfort, stress, and fear (like lip licking)
- And even how to choose the furry companion that’s right for you.

Worth the purchase for the beautiful photography alone!
McGreevy and Starling created a wonderful resource for dog owners. The text is fairly simple in that the authors really show how simple and easy being a dog owner is, if you understand what your dog wants.
Erin G, Librarian
A reasoned, approachable guide to dog behavior and training. The authors clearly have a lot of experience with canines of all shapes, sizes, and foibles. And if you don't smile at the photos of happy, goofy dogs throughout this book, you are probably dead inside.
