Description

Most training guides teach dogs to respond to our commands, while 'dog whisperers' interpret behaviour and body language. The K9Sign system teaches dogs to 'speak' to us - making it a first in any dog training book category. Sample signs range from 'food' to identifying a favourite treat, from 'play' to naming a particular toy or game, from 'door' to going out for a specific reason. So if you've ever wondered what your pug was pondering - now she can actually tell you!
