Peer Review edit
Hey! Great job on your article draft, you have a lot of great information thus far. There are a few points I would like to mention.
Organization: I think the organization of your article is very well done and should read very clearly once finished. The headings and subheadings are well thought out and styled in an uncluttered manner.
Content: Within the introduction currently on Wikipedia, it mentions that the body language of dogs can be learned. I would suggest potentially adding a section on the types of learning that could alter the posture/ behaviour of dogs (i.e.. Operant or classical conditioning?). You could also mention why this might be useful (i.e. for the owners/ trainers). I found an article that could be useful for this topic here:[1]
Coverage: Great job on the coverage, I feel like you've covered all of the major topics surrounding the body language of dogs.
Overall, great job! Keep up the good work, and I can't wait to read the final draft!
Thanks a lot! This was a very helpful article and I will definitely mention something about operant and classical conditioning in my final draft. Sydneymanuel (talk) 21:57, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
