original title from 2002: The end of the other leash - why we do what we do around dogs
For the love of dog - understanding emotion in you and your best friend
"The best friend of man." As such, the dog is often called. But what about the other way around? Do we really understand, what is going on in the four-legged? Are we really doing justice to this friendship? Do we recognize the diverse emotions and how can we help the dog, for example, cope better with fears?
note: Definitely topics that few talk about.

Dogs can sign, too - a breakthrough method for teaching your dog to communicate to you
How often have you been there and have wished that the four-legged friend could tell you what exactly he wants. Does he want water? Did he recognize who is at the door? The so-called K9Sign system promises just that. This can teach your dog to communicate with you. Be it that he urgently needs to do his business, is thirsty or has any toys he would like.
note: The K9Signs with the go potty and the thirst are ones I will definitely try when the dog is there.
