Polite dog behaviours: How many can you see?	Parallel walking develops social skills

"The dogs understand each other, and therefore can communicate, if they have been able to keep their language. They can also understand us, and other animals using the same language. Often, when misunderstandings between human and dog arise, it is because of language problems. By being better in reading and understanding our dogs, we can prevent situations from happening, we can get on talking terms with the dogs, we can avoid stress, fear and aggressions in our dogs -- and in other people's dogs." (Turid Rugaas)
