Turid Rugaas is a noted expert on canine body language, notably "calming signals" which are signals dogs give to other dogs and humans to denote stress and to attempt defuse situations that otherwise might result in fights or aggression. Written in practical, down-to-earth, logical language. Companion DVD, 'Calming Signals: What Your Dog Tells You Review: Must Buy for All Dog Lovers - This book is a must for anyone who is keen on understanding their dogs better and wants to improve human-dog interactions. Being a pet parent and an animal rescuer who has to approach many dogs on a daily basis, this book has brought about a marked difference in how I interact with dogs and how they respond to my gestures and cues. In this book, Turid talks about a host of signals that dogs give out to themselves, to other dogs, and also to humans to express certain emotions such as "I come in peace, I mean no harm, I am scared, you are scaring me, I am trying to calm you down, I am friendly, do not approach me now, I don't intend to interact now, I am not interested, and so on". These signals are innate signals that all dogs use to communicate with each other, and in turn they also understand these signals when others are using them. Hence, no training is required. After reading this book, and after trying out some of these signals myself, I have noticed how the body language of a dog changes based on the signals I give out. I have used these signals on street dogs while approaching them and also while avoiding them (when walking my dogs) and they seem to work like a charm. Similarly, these signals have helped me understand when I should approach my dog, when they don't want interactions and I should let them be, what is stressing them out and how I can calm them now. I only wish I had read this book a few years back! A must read and a must buy for everyone who is interested in dogs. I am told cats and horses also seem to display some of these signals! Review: Understanding a species called 'DOGS'. - On Talking terms with Dogs: Calming Signals is one of the few many books written by the well known Norwegian author Turid Rugaas. I must say after going through her profile that it is a splendid lives’ work. She has not only done a lot for dogs but for us humans as well to bring about various forms of communication between the two different species. Dedicating almost her complete life and inspiring numerous thousands of lives through her works and trainings, she just sets an example for many more such souls like hers. This book is perfectly written to understand the different signals that help us communicate in both ways - to speak to our dogs and as well as to listen to them. Yes to listen to them. I say so because it creates that connection which can only be felt. The content of the book is apt and flowing in a very understandable matter. Each and every concept is explained giving different examples. It gives a lot of knowledge. Also I was taken aback when I read about a stressed out dog. The factors which are so very normal to us are actually so very different to them. Incredible! I must say that this inspires me to follow her and read even more about these wonders on Earth. - Meghna Sheth ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #273,844 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #275 in Pets & Animal Care (Books) #19,622 in Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,174 Reviews | ## Images ![On Talking Terms with Dogs: Calming Signals - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91S9dM3Vp4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must Buy for All Dog Lovers *by D***A on 18 August 2016* This book is a must for anyone who is keen on understanding their dogs better and wants to improve human-dog interactions.

It demonstrates that, with some observation, you can understand any dogs signals, thus setting a foundation to a calmer, more trusting relationship between human and dog. It is a great conflict resolver and greatly reduces stress and insecurity in any dog. A very insightful and invaluable read for me in my line of work as an amateur behaviorist. This book was instrumental in taking me down the path of my passion ie dog behaviour almost 7 years ago. I wish the DVD were easily available as well! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/78243847-on-talking-terms-with-dogs-calming-signals](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/78243847-on-talking-terms-with-dogs-calming-signals) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
