#1 The same impact of subtle movements underlies each and every one of your interactions with your dog. Dogs are brilliant at perceiving minute changes in our bodies and assume each tiny motion has meaning. Small movements that you make have huge consequences in your dog's behavior.

#2 Dogs are highly visual, and they are always watching us for the slightest movements that they use to communicate with one another. We must pay attention to how we move around our dogs, and how they move around us, since this is how they communicate with us.

#3 The researchers tested whether dogs paid more attention to sound or vision when learning a simple exercise. They taught twenty-four six-and-a-half-week-old puppies to sit to both a sound and a motion. The puppies either saw the trainer's hand move or heard the beeplike sit signal.

#4 We humans often miss the signals that our dogs are sending us. For example, we might praise our dogs for giving us a ball back, when in reality, they just want the ball. We should pay attention to the visual signals our dogs send us.
