Customer Reviews

A good combination - I just love Turid Rugaas
Turid Rugaas opened the door and set the ball rolling on the science of reading canine body language. The book was always a good read, the updated version being so much better with the photos and the extra bits she has added. The DVD is a little amaturish but I feel provides a good compliment to the book for those kenetic types that need to have something to look at rather than just read about.
Turid may not present things in a glossy manner (in fact I feel she is self effacing) but she is passionate with what she does. Going by the improvement she has made with the book - perhaps she will update that video soon too but I didn't have a problem with the video as I felt it helped me connect with the book even better.

calming signals
Turid Rugaas's Calming Signals was to me the keys to the kingdom. my dogs are so much happier now that i understand so much more about what they are telling me. i have told many people about this remarkable work. it's really incredible.

Mixed Signals
I had been looking forward to reviewing this DVD in anticipation of better understanding one of my dogs. With the price of this DVD, you would expect a better quality of video. It looked like someone's home movie. It was only 45 minutes long and trust me, it seemed longer.

The one good tidbit in the whole thing was to yawn to calm down a dog. Of course my husband and I both tried that suggestion to no avail. I would not recommend this movie for anyone unless you paid less than $5.00. Very irritating music.
