Dogs are born with the innate ability to understand each other through a series of facial gestures, body movements and sounds which are reinforced through their first families, their canine mom and dad. This is something that is primal and originates from their ancient connection to the wolf. It is known as dog behavior. By learning to communicate with our dogs using dog behavior we can connect with them on a deeper level than we ever could using other methods which are based on human psychology.

When you have a dog that is exhibiting aggression or fear, dog behavior can act as a bridge of communication for the dog to reconnect him with his primal roots. Dominance by the dog owner through understanding dog behavior is the key to rehabilitating your dog.

Dog behavior is based on the system of hierarchy or mental dominance of one dog over another. All the animal kingdom recognizes and respects this natural system so why don't humans do this, too? Interesting question.
