Dog behaviour and body-language explainers by a veteran behaviourist

German-speaking dog owners, especially older adults (titles address 'Sie'; one title and its thumbnail speak to owners over 50), who want to understand why their dog behaves as it does (inferred from titles and descriptions).

• Realistic avatar · Talking head
• A photorealistic older man with a grey beard, glasses, a flat cap and a navy sweater, seated at a kitchen table with hands folded and a coiled leash. Thumbnails show him with a dog, pointing, or in bed with a dog.

A 15–23 min explainer: a scene or claim hook, a self-introduction (13 years in practice, 30 as a behaviourist), a numbered list of dog behaviours, then a comment question; the book is linked in the description.

• Dog body language
• Why dogs do odd things
• Dogs and their older owners
• Breeds and dog choice
• Cheap ways to make dogs happy

• [N] Zeichen, dass Ihr Hund Sie als [X] sieht
• [N] Dinge, die Ihr Hund heimlich hasst, und Sie tun sie jeden Tag
• Warum Ihr Hund [X] (es ist NICHT, was Sie denken!)
• [N] Hunderassen, die ich nie wieder ins Haus lassen würde
