Why does your dog bark now but not before?
Why does tail-wagging sometimes mean joy-and sometimes mean stress?
Why do "good dogs" suddenly act in ways that confuse or frustrate you?
Most dog behavior isn't misbehavior.
It's communication-and most owners were never taught how to read it.
Dog Behavior Explained is a clear, reassuring guide for everyday dog owners who want to finally understand what their dog is trying to say-and respond with confidence instead of guesswork.
This book doesn't turn you into a trainer.
It turns you into a better listener.
What This Book Does DifferentlyInstead of commands, drills, or dominance theories, this book focuses on interpretation.
You'll learn:
What common dog behaviors actually mean
How dogs communicate stress, safety, curiosity, fear, and trust
Why behavior often changes suddenly-and what triggers it
How your response shapes future behavior (often without you realizing it)
When understanding comes first, better behavior follows naturally.
