Learning how to "speak dog" may sound like an unusual way to embark on training one, but that's how celebrated dog trainer and TV veteran Justin Silver has achieved his remarkable successes. And now, he shows you just how easy it can be. Whether you merely want to understand your dog better or there's a troublesome behavior you've been unable to fix, Justin encourages you to move past stereotypes such as "hyper" or "aggressive" and listen to what your dog is trying to tell you. From learning all about what makes your dog unique to assessing your dog's entire personality in any situation, every circumstance can be a little bit different-but you already know your dog best. Justin's approach is based on a key concept: Don't tell your dog what you don't want. Instead, tell your dog what you do want. Learning should be fun for both of you, and Justin's trademark style and wit will make sure it is, Telling the story of his dual career as dog expert and stand-up comic and sharing delightful details on the dogs in his life, The Language of Dogs is a compulsive read that you won't want to put down...except to start listening to what your dog has to say.
