What is it about New Year’s that gets everyone so excited? Apart from closing a year that’s had its share of ups and downs, facing a new one allows us to dream up new possibilities. We consider changing our weight, diet, style, politics, hobbies, and general approaches to life toward the end of every year.

Reacting to our reactions is simply among the things they do best. With that in mind, it’s important that we treat dog body language as the critical communicator that it is – especially when it comes to preparing for the dog park. Read More…
