Since I have been thinking about this, I thought it would be interesting to put up some tests and see how well people on here can read dog body language. If you saw these dogs out in public, how many of you would respond appropriately to the message that they are sending?
This <> <> <> DIAMONDS in the RUFF - Training for Dogs & Their People<> <> <> (http://www.diamondsintheruff.com/) is good, with pictures of actual dogs. Unfortunately, I can't get a link to test itself (silly frames!), but go to Behavior FAQs on the left, and then scroll down to Dog Speak, Body Language Examples. The "answers" page is really good at showing what signs you should look for. There's a lot of good information on that site in general.
Body Language (http://www.ttlntl.co.uk//3/bodylangquiz.htm) uses drawings instead of pictures, but is still an interesting quiz. I admit that I got number 3 wrong.
