You may realize when your dog shows excitement, but do you know whether the excitement indicates joy or anxiety? The Dog Decoder shows you how to pick up on all the signals and messages that your dog sends out to you, and to others, every day leading to a closer bond between you and your pet.

While we rely largely on our voices and eyesight for communication purposes, dogs possess much richer and far more diverse ways of signaling their intention and moods to each other. The domestic dog’s own language has evolved and it is even possible to detect variances between individual breeds.

Combining carefully selected photographs with expert annotation, captions, and authoritatively written text, this book will appeal to all dog-lovers.
