I am interested in learning as much as I can on our dogs body language, their psychology and trying to understand what they are thinking.

Have looked at numerous websites and book/video stores but it appears to be a mine field as there are so many and I just have not got a clue which to get.

Please can any of you advise me which are the best and most informative ones and also that are written/filmed in such a way that an 'idiot' like myself can understand.

Many thanks in advance for your help.

Regards, Angela xx

I really like this book and recommend it lots, well worth the money - if you only buy one buy this...

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Canine-Body-Language-Photographic-Interpreting/dp/1929242352

For books that are more of an in depth read I would recommend books by Stanley Corens 'how dogs think' and 'the intelligence of dogs' he has a few more titles if you enjoy them but they do get partly repetitve.

On a complete other end of the spectrum because it's more fluffy, but some find it thought provoking 'bones would rain from the sky' by suzanne clothier.

I have heaps of books tbh, I'll have a scout over the book shelf and see if any other spring to mind as good to recommend :D

Edited to add: another stanley coren 'how to speak dog'.
'the other end of the leash' patricia Mcconnell - more 'fluffy' than corens but less so than 'bones would rain from the sky' :wink:

when i say fluffy I mean more soft, emotional, story telling 9easier read?) than say science, history and in depth study :)

Many thanks for your replies, will certainly have a look at them.

Sorry for the delay, did not know anyone had replied as I did not get any emails advising me although I have the box ticked in my account.
