Dog Language Wiki is the encyclopedia of canine behavior edited by Roger Abrantes and based on his book ''Dog Language–An Encyclopedia of Canine Behavior". The present wiki is much larger than the book, covering more topics and in more depth. It is regularly updated, and the author creates new entries when necessary. You can contact us and ask for an entry you find relevant, and we have missed.

Dog Language Wiki is for everyone, from the pet owner to the professional trainer or the student of behavior. References and links support all entries. It is the ideal tool for the serious student of behavior. You can easily access it from your mobile device, should you need to check a definition or get some references for your further study.

Despite its name, Dog Language Wiki deals with much more than the behavior of dogs, Canis lupus familiaris. It reviews all canids' behavior, including wolves, African wild dogs, dingoes, jackals, and more. In fact, you will find that the thoroughly given definitions in this wiki apply to behavior in general. Students of species other than canids will find this wiki to be a dependable source for their studies.
