It is important that we can read the canine language to know when they are stressed, and when they are trying to relax.<br/><br/>I suggest reading the article, and for the next week, watch your dog(s) and other dogs you meet, and see how many of the signs you observe. It will really open your eyes. It is very fun to do and very informative. One of the best places to observe these signs is in a local dog park. Dogs are constantly giving off signals to other dogs, especially in a group situation. <br/><br/>If you have an anxious, fearful, or aggressive dog it is imperative you understand their language. I work with aggressive dogs and reading their language has prevented me from getting bitten many times.<br/><br/>For more information go to <a href="http://www.solveigtr.com/dempende-eng-tr.htm">Dog Body Language</a><br/>
