Behavior vs Breeds: How to spot a friendly dog

Dogs are such a part of our lives we may not give much thought to what dogs are saying to us.

But a dog’s body language speaks volumes.

Sue Sternberg has been working with, observing, and training dogs for more than 30 years.  She says – we need to carefully consider the personalities and behaviors of dogs we`re adding to our families.

Friendliness is the single most important quality Sternberg looks for in dogs, regardless of breed.    A friendlier dog is much less likely to bite strangers and you.

But what does friendliness look like in dogs?

Sternberg talks with WGN’s Judie Garcia and visits a local shelter with tips like focusing on behaviors rather  than  breeds and considering the age of the dog.
