觀察狗兒的安定訊號是了解他們一切的開端，因為雙向的溝通由此而生。◆了解狗兒重要的肢體語言――安定訊號，最重要也最具核心概念的一本書。◆作者吐蕊‧魯格斯於25年前初版安定訊號一書發行後，唯一一次改版。除補充重要內容，也收錄最經典的幾個全球讀者、學員提問。　早在一萬五千年前，狗兒的祖先在自然淘汰的過程中發展出安定訊號，因為訊號對群體的生存至關重要。若群體中的成員不斷打架，或老想除去對方，此一群體就無法存活。我們的狗兒承繼了相同的訊號套組，全世界所有的狗兒都具備安定訊號，不論他們是何犬種、體型大小、毛色或身形為何，訊號確實是共通語言。這表示來自世界各地的狗兒在相遇的時候都能相互溝通，也代表當你在其他國家遇到狗兒的時候可以與他們溝通。　每隻狗兒的表達方式可能有所不同，但仍能相互理解，因為他們擁有自己的語言系統，是由逆境中生存下來的祖先那兒所承繼的技能。除此之外，他們必須維持群體內的平和及穩定，才能把精力花在狩獵與覓食上頭，而非浪費在無用且又具破壞性的爭吵。　我們在討論的安定訊號有哪些呢？據我們所知有29種左右，當中有部分訊號在某些情況下，除了安定之外還有其他效用。有些訊號來去快如閃電，有些則會停留得久一些。要能察覺所有訊號是需要時間和經驗的累積，但所投入的時間及精力絕對值得，因為你開始能夠讀懂狗兒的感受，知道何時必須介入阻止，幫助狗兒擺脫困境，為他們做得更多。　正如一位學生曾對我說過：「我的家人之所以變得如此融洽，是因為我們不想要因為彼此間無止盡的爭端而令狗兒感到不安，我們從未有過如此平靜愉快的家庭生活。」　看來能夠理解狗兒的語言，可以帶來各式不同的結果！
