Have you ever looked at your dog, really looked at your dog, and wondered: "What is he thinking, right now?"

Well, the St. Paul Public Library is here to help.

Through "Life with Fido," the library has held a handful of courses to help dog owners unlock the mysteriies of their pets... or at least do a better job of living with them.

On Wednesday, Dec. 3 from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., St. Paul's Sun Ray Library will hold a class on Dog Body Language.

"Learn how to read your dog's subtle signals and spot trouble BEFORE it happens. Know how to stay safe, predict and prevent a bite and recognize when a dog might need some help or support," says the information about the class. Kate Anders, a behavior consultant and dog trainer, will be the presenter.

Previous classes were The Family Dog, a crash course on living and working with kids and dogs that was offered at the Hamline Midway Library on Nov. 15, and How to be a Savvy Dog Owner, which was held Dec. 1 at the Highland Park Library. The class was for people thinking about buying their first puppy, as well as for more experienced dog owners.
