This was very interesting to read, most I already knew, but learned some new things as well.
Thanks.

This was really great reading, thanks for sharing the link. In dog training we were just talking about the different reasons your dog hair, hackles stand up. And then to read about it again was great. Its great to experience this in class with all the different dog breeds and know what is just about to happen with a dog by knowing and reading these signs.

It'll take a while to absorb for some that are just getting to know dogs, but if you get to study and be able to read a dog, you're going to be in good hands.

Not only you, but to the people around you. If you know what you're dog is telling you, you'll be able to direct people on to which dog will be friendlier compared to the aggressive ones.

I've seen tons of stories about people getting bit on the face because they don't know what the dog is telling them. Please be mindful of the dog's body language. It'll save your life.

There's a lot of info there - think I need to read and re read it to get the benefit of the whole thing. Have bookmarked it and will be sharing it elsewhere.
