I agree and so does my dog, Ziggy, she just told me that this is a great article and is still very excited about purchasing one. Does it come in leopard skin she just asked as it would suit her shiny black coat.she is also very keen on the diamond idea too.

I’ve owned dogs all my life, and they do communicate with barks and growls things that we would never have guessed they would know. Animals are a lot smarter than we think they are.

Anyone who needs an electronic gadget to tell if their dog is happy, sad, frustrated, threatening, needy or assertive should probably not have a dog to begin with.

Grant – I agree and it goes both ways. Some studies have indicated dogs read human body language better than other humans do. Let’s face it, they’ve evolved alongside us for, what’s the latest estimate? Like a hundred thousand years? Survival of the fittest gives us a modern dog that is pretty darn good at knowing what we’re up to. And I can tell from the dog’s posture and tone what it wants. I don’t need a collar to know when my dog is “needy”, he tells me.

Isn’t it funny that when we see a dog who is behaving happily, we know it’s happy. When we see a dog who’s behaving sadly, we know it’s sad.
Us humans can look at a dog and interpret its body language. Strange in a way. Like an ancient understanding that two different species have with each other.

Remember in Finding Nemo, when the seagulls mostly just said “Mine!” and the crabs mostly said “Hey!”.

If we ever do translate dog, I bet we find out that Finding Nemo had it right (simple, repetitious vocabulary).
