Dogs are very expressive animals. They communicate when they’re feeling happy, sad, nervous, fearful and angry, and they use their faces and bodies to convey much of this information.
Dog body language is an elaborate and sophisticated system of nonverbal communication that, fortunately, we can learn to recognize and interpret. Once you learn how to “read” dogs’ postures and signals, you’ll better understand their feelings and motivations and be better able to predict what they are likely to do.
These skills will enable you to interact with dogs with greater enjoyment and safety.
Recommended for pet parents, babysitters, kennel employees, dog-walkers, pet-sitters, UPS drivers, mail carriers and anyone who wants to understand more about dogs.

One of the most pervasive behavior problems we face is dealing with dogs who are afraid. They may fear people, other dogs or even other objects. Videos and real life situations will be used to address these issues and to help our fearful friends. NO DOGS PERMITTED.
