"Barking, The Sound of a Language"


Barking is something our Princesse Bungee doesn't do too much of. However Bungee's "brother" Guinness, our Border Terrier, does plenty of it. So, when I saw Turid Rugaas's newest book: "Barking, The Sound of a Language", "A Dogwise Training Manual", I couldn't wait to get a copy.

At only 108 pages it's an easy read. There are many photos picturing just how to do certain things too. It is simple and to the point, while providing great insight into the behavior of barking and the language of dogs. Turid identifies 8 different categories of barking types, and outlines positive and helpful ways to deal with them when they are a problem.

Of course, the author being Turid Rugaas, you can rest assured the suggestions are 100% safe, kind and beneficial for the dog and handler.

I was pleasantly surprised to see how much information there was that was not only appropriate for Bungee, but for Guinness and for us too! I'm sure this information will be helpful to us for as long as we have dogs to bark.

This small book is a gem, worthy of a spot on any trainer's library shelf. Lucky dogs who's owners take the time to read this book!

I bought my copy at Clean Run.
The publisher is "Dogwise Publishing": www.dogwise.com and listing the phone number of 1-800-776-2665 on the back of the book.

Happy Training!
enjoy ...It's About Love !
