non-verbal communication between dogs

Have you ever noticed that dogs seem to have this body language about them that other dogs seem to pick up very quickly even though they may never have seen each other before? In some ways dogs are more adept at reading each other than human beings are. They don’t have to speak or explain themselves before the other dogs just know what’s going on. It almost seems that the non-verbal communication between dogs is a language all its own. It’s not so much in how they move as what they do that gives away this incredible and intelligent communication skill!
