Calming Signals

A great compliment to the body language video produced by Irith Bloom, KPA-CTP, APDT of The Sophisticated Dog, LLC, this video provides insight into how dogs interact with each other.  Dogs display "calming signals" to communicate with each other and resolve conflict.  Dogs also use these signals to communicate with humans!
