Details Condition: New Format: Hardback ISBN: 9781787837010 Publisher: Summersdale Age Range: Adult / General Readership Overview Doggie Language: A Dog Lover's Guide to Understanding Your Best Friend is a beautifully illustrated hardback guide that decodes canine body language for dog owners, trainers, and animal lovers of all experience levels. Written and illustrated by Lili Chin, this compact yet comprehensive handbook turns subtle tail wags, ear positions, and posture shifts into a clear visual language anyone can learn. It's an ideal gift for new puppy parents, seasoned dog owners, and anyone keen to build a deeper, more compassionate bond with their four-legged companion. About the Book Dogs communicate constantly through body language, but much of what they're telling us goes unnoticed or misread, often leading to unnecessary stress for both dog and owner. Doggie Language addresses this gap with warm, friendly illustrations mapping out common canine postures, facial expressions, tail carriage, and behavioural signals alongside their likely emotional meaning. Whether it's a playful bow, a nervous "whale eye," a relaxed loose wiggle, or the tension of a stiffened stance, the book's visual-first approach makes these cues instantly memorable. Its small, sturdy hardback format is designed for quick reference on walks, at the vet, during training sessions, or in classroom and shelter settings. The book has earned recognition for its accessible, science-informed approach, winning the Dog Writers' Association of America award for Best Book on Behavior, Health and Care, and has been translated into numerous languages worldwide, reflecting its broad appeal to dog lovers everywhere. It's as useful for a first-time puppy owner trying to understand basic signals as it is for an experienced handler wanting a refresher or teaching tool. Clear, labelled illustrations make canine body language easy to recognise at a glance Compact, durable hardback format, perfect for giftin
