	Dog communication - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		One of the most common communications between dogs, and from dogs to their human companions, is the display of either dominance or submission.
		Dogs with docked tails, like Dobermanns, tend to have some problems communicating with other dogs, since their tail movements are extremely difficult to detect.
		Dogs generally try to avoid conflict; their vocalizations are part of what communicates to other dogs whether they mean harm or are in a playful mood.

		Dog mushers and their dogs race for the joy and excitement of the trail -- not for the media recognition.

	Dog Communication: Physical and Vocal Signals
		Because dogs are instinctively pack animals, they relate to another's presence, animal or human, in terms of their own dominance or submission to it.
		Of all the facial means of dog communication, a dog's mouth is perhaps the most complex in that it must be read in the context of the rest of the dog's body language.
		However, a dog's communication through his tail movements can be more complex: slight, slow wags reveal that a dog is unsure of the situation and feels uncomfortable.

	Dog to Dog Communication
		A dog that is staring at another dog, his ears pricked and his tail stiff, is probably conveying dominance, or at least a wish for it.
		A dog that averts his gaze from another dog and hunkers down nervously as if waiting for an explosion is likely fearful and is trying to defuse the situation by acting submissive.
		The worst canine communicators are those dogs that have been raised without the company of other dogs during a critical inter-dog socialization phase of their lives (3 to 6 weeks).

	Canine Communication - Responsible Dog and Cat
		Communication among animals is described as a transmission of information between one animal and another or between groups of animals with the intent to affect behavior.
		Dogs use their body to communicate visually, using the position of their ears, mouth, face, tail, hair, posture and position, functioning to identify their emotional state, but with variability among breeds, this is not always reliable.
		A dominant dog may use other signals which serve to “reinforce their relationship” with another dog such as resting its head or forelimb across the shoulders or grabbing the lower ranking dog by the muzzle using an inhibited bite (Beaver, 1999).

	Anders Hallgren: "The ABC's of Dog Language"
		Although humans are somewhat restricted in their ability to exactly copy the dog’s ways of communication, the book gives a lot of practical hints as to how we, at least, can understand the dog, and, hopefully, also learn to "speak Dog Language" well enough to build a positive relationship with our four-legged companion.
		Anders Hallgren was the "inventor" of the soft leadership concept that advocates the human controlling the dog’s behavior by non-abusive means without choke chains, pain, hitting, yelling, or whatever else has been considered "adequate dog training methods" in the past.
		You love dogs, and you want to understand what your dog tries to communicate to you.

	Westie Training & Behavior - Dog/People Communication...The Universal Language
		In dog training, the golden rule is: If you are displeased by your dog's performance (even if you say GOOD DOG...BUT, you are feeling the opposite)...
		Dogs are so resilient in so many ways....and, that resiliency "to respond" to the universal language is the stongest.
		In the most extreme situations...when a dog hears that language, even if it is far in the distance or very faint to them (from abuse or neglect)...they will from deep inside themselves manage that ever meaningful tail wag or lifted paw or raised head or a lick.

		I've seen dogs who I would say are normal, low key dogs change completely when they meet a certain new dog whose personality just brings out the worst in them.
		The culprit may be the dog who didn't growl but started the spat by giving the other dog a challenging stare.
		This means giving "your" dog the first treat, letting "your" dog out the door first, etc. After they have settled in together, you may find that the new dog is taking over as "alpha".
