Foreword I’m a dog geek, for life. As a baby I was bitten on the face by a rescue dog and sat in shock, but never cried. It’s a family joke that I’ve had dog in my blood ever since, because I’ve never found them anything short of fascinating.
作为一只狗，我是一个前言。当我还是个婴儿时，我被一只救援犬咬伤了脸，坐在那里很震惊，但从未哭过。这是一个家庭笑话，从那时起，我就一直有狗在我的血液中，因为我从来没有发现他们有什么不迷人的。
I opened my first petsitting business at nine years old, and at 12, earned the right to have my first dog – a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel called Beano. I have studied and worked professionally with dogs for more than 15 years, and I’ve trained more than 10,000 dogs – and just as many owners.
我在九岁的时候开始了我的第一家宠物饲养公司，在12岁的时候，我赢得了养我第一只狗的权利——一只名叫比诺的骑士查尔斯国王猎犬。我对狗进行了15年多的专业研究和工作，我已经训练了10000多只狗——以及同样多的主人。
Since earning an Honours Degree in Animal Behaviour and becoming a fully qualified dog behaviourist, my focus has been on dog language and culture: what we know, what we think we know, and what we don’t know.
自从获得动物行为学荣誉学位并成为一名完全合格的狗行为学家以来，我一直专注于狗的语言和文化：我们知道什么，我们认为我们知道什么，我们不知道什么。
Once I realized that dogs can smell cancer, my love for them went supernova. But I also saw that even though these incredible animals could smell disease, humans were still smacking their noses as discipline, holding them by the throat until they submitted, and pushing their butts into the ground rather than asking them to sit. Dogs are sensitive and easy to train, if we just take the time to watch and understand them.
一旦我意识到狗能闻到癌症的味道，我对它们的爱就变成了超新星。但我也看到，尽管这些令人难以置信的动物能闻到疾病的气味，但人类仍在用鼻子打它们的鼻子，用手掐住它们的喉咙直到它们屈服，并将它们的屁股推到地上，而不是让它们坐下。如果我们花时间去观察和理解它们，狗是敏感的，而且很容易训练。
Once you start interpreting dog body language, it’s a skill you never switch off. After reading this book, you’ll start noticing dog “chats” every day. I want to help people step into the world of the canine “detective”.
一旦你开始解释狗的肢体语言，这是一项你永远不会停止的技能。读完这本书后，你会开始注意到狗每天都在“聊天”。我想帮助人们走进警犬侦探的世界。
I hope this book will give you the eye and the insight to dogwatch as a fascinating hobby – and to look at, love, and learn from your dog in a brand new way. What we thought we knew about dog behaviour 20 years ago has changed so much, and one day we’ll know even more.
我希望这本书能给你一个视角和洞察力，让你将狗观视为一种迷人的爱好，并以一种全新的方式来观察、爱你的狗，并向它学习。20年前我们对狗的行为的了解已经改变了很多，总有一天我们会知道更多。
While this book is an up-to-date compendium of postures agreed upon by the world’s best dog geeks, I for one will never stop asking, “What’s my dog thinking?
虽然这本书是世界上最好的狗狗极客们一致同意的最新姿势简编，但作为一个人，我永远不会停止问：“我的狗狗在想什么？

Start to think like a dog
开始像狗一样思考
In order to start working out what your dog is thinking, it’s important to understand how dogs think – in particular,
为了开始了解你的狗在想什么，了解狗是如何思考的是很重要的——特别是，
the way they communicate and experience the world, and the key instincts and processes driving their behaviour.
他们交流和体验世界的方式，以及驱动他们行为的关键本能和过程。

How dogs communicate
狗如何交流
Dogs constantly talk to us, and each other, with posture and movement and through sounds and scent – whether we notice it or not!
无论我们是否注意到，狗总是通过姿势、动作、声音和气味与我们和彼此交谈！
To become a dog detective and understand how your dog thinks, first identify the clues from their postures and sounds, and discover the depth of their world of smell.
要想成为一名狗侦探，了解你的狗是如何思考的，首先要从它们的姿势和声音中找出线索，并发现它们嗅觉世界的深度。

We dog body language geeks are always analyzing how a dog stands, what the tail is doing, how the eyes, ears, and mouth look, and lots more.
我们这些狗的肢体语言极客总是在分析狗是如何站立的，尾巴在做什么，眼睛、耳朵和嘴巴是什么样子，等等。
Each part of the body is like a letter in the dog’s body language; together, they form a posture, or “word”, that’s a snapshot of what the dog is saying in that moment. A fluid, moving sequence of postures gives us the dog’s full “sentence”.
身体的每一部分都像狗的肢体语言中的一个字母；它们一起构成一个姿势，或“单词”，这是狗在那一刻所说的话的快照。流畅、移动的姿势序列给了我们狗完整的“句子”。
This book is full of postures that are analyzed to help you learn to read your dog – while the “Advanced dogwatching” features will help you to master more complex full sentences of behaviour.
这本书充满了姿势分析，以帮助你学习阅读你的狗-而“高级看狗”功能将帮助你掌握更复杂的完整的行为句子。
It’s really important to start by simply observing parts of your dog’s body, without trying to analyze them straight away. Each is one piece of the bigger story.
这是非常重要的开始只是观察你的狗的身体部分，而不是试图分析他们马上。每一个都是更大故事的一部分。

Body Are the body and stance relaxed and loose, or is there muscle tension and stiffness? Is the dog’s posture tall or lowered?
身体是身体和姿势放松和放松，还是肌肉紧张和僵硬？狗的姿势是高的还是低的？
Is their weight placed forwards, backwards, or is it neutral? Bunched fur can also reveal physical and emotional tension.
他们的体重是向前、向后还是中性？成束的毛发也能显示身体和情感的紧张。
Try to avoid assumptions; for example, a dog that has rolled over could be either friendly or frightened (see pages 32–33).
尽量避免假设；例如，翻身的狗可能是友好的，也可能是害怕的（参见第32-33页）。

Ears Ear position can tell you which direction the dog is thinking about. Forward ears are alert to what’s ahead; pulled-back ears may mean the dog wants to move backwards.
耳朵的位置可以告诉你狗在想什么方向。向前的耳朵对前方的事物保持警惕；耳朵向后拉可能意味着狗想向后移动。
If one ear is forward and one back, the dog is listening to two sources of sound and may be making a decision, while “aeroplane” ears going out to the side are a sign the dog is guarding their personal space or an item.
如果一只耳朵向前，一只耳朵向后，狗正在听两个声音源，可能正在做决定，而“飞机”耳朵向一侧伸出，则表明狗在保护自己的私人空间或物品。
