Dogs have subtle signals that are designed to keep the peace, avoid conflict, and lower the temperature in any interaction. In this episode, we discuss Turid Rugaas's classic book "On Talking Terms With Dogs: Calming Signals." Once you learn to read these signals — like head turns, ground sniffs, lip licks, curved approaches — you'll develop a deeper understanding of your dog. That will make life calmer for you both, because responding to your dog's polite whispers can mean she doesn't have to escalate into the canine version of shouting.
