And this is why observational skills are essential to animal husbandry. I have a friend who looks at his dogs and does not see what they are telling him with their actions.

Exactly. My husband is often ruffled because the boys just don't pay attention like he does.

I believe that in some things either you 'have the eye' or you don't.

Well, in their case, I'm hoping it's just youth. I do agree, though, that some will just never understand the need to watch and observe. Just a quick in and out isn't going to cut it
