I love the author (Calming Signals). Has anyone read this one. I ordered a used copy from Amazon.

I haven't heard of it, but I did really like Calming Signals. And, as much as their barking drives me crazy at times, I love all the different barks that my two have. I love the different pitches and rates, and how I usually know what each bark means.

Have you started reading it yet?

Can't wait to hear what you think of it. I'd love to know what the various noises that come out of R&B mean.

I finished the book and it's excellent. Here is a prior post on the subject.
