Whisper, don't shout - good advice is quiet ...

Times when dogs were trained to be only obedient or to carry out certain tasks are long gone. Many dog owners today wish to have a relationship based on mutual understanding and a much closer bond to their four-legged friend. This book presents a unique method that will help readers develop non-verbal, almost intuitive communication with their dogs. Most of our commands are made using our voice - however, this book will show readers how to train their dog to understand our wishes by knowing how to interpret our non-verbal signals. Many practical examples help develop an intimate link to dogs, that is based on harmony and on understanding each other.
