Learn To Speak "Doglish"

When you travel overseas, you learn some key words in a new language to show respect for the people you are visiting. You owe your faithful dog no less respect. Learn to speak "Doglish" --various elements of body language that a dog readily understands. You'll improve communication with your dog and enhance your training efforts as well. Noted canine author Sarah Hodgson makes "Doglish" a key aspect of her training philosophy. She stresses that dogs, like people, experience emotion, but they express it differently. Using "Doglish" can bridge that gap. Her explanations of the "Peacock Position" in training and dogs' reactions to yelling are lively examples of how failure to use proper "Doglish" undermines your best efforts to train your canine companion.
