This question is directed to the experienced GSD owner. I want to learn more about reading my dogs body language. If you have or know any info please share! Our trainer was explaining to watch for body language but she was really vague in her explanation

"The Other End of the Leash" is a great book.

Here's a really simple reference chart on body language.

Not all-encompassing, but something to get you started.

I REALLY recommend her DVD. Not only does she describe what to look for, she got tons of dogs (many GSD's in fact) to SHOW what she's talking about so it's much easier to compare our own dog's behavior.
