What dog trainers are saying about Roger Abrantes’ Dog Language
Dog Language is a book that will benefit anyone interested in what makes our dogs tick. It is a must for the professional dog handler of behaviorist, as well as any pet owner. Dog Language is well organized and written in a clear, easily understood manner. The beautiful illustrations help to explain what our canine companions are trying to communicate to us and each other.

If we are to understand the domestic dog’s natural behavior, we must appreciate his social heritage and the adaptive significance of his many complex behavior patterns. Roger Abrantes’ book Dog Language provides this knowledge, and presents it in an easy to use and understand format. This encyclopedia of canine behavior is absolutely a must for all serious students of canine behavior and training.

| the first good one, August 13, 2008 |
| Reviewer: Stephanie Wesloh |
| This is probably the first good book on canine body language and behavior. Reliable. Easy to understand. Good insights. Lots of drawings. However, there are newer books out there -- I'm checking out if any are better. |
