Dog Body Language

Welcome to Understanding Dog Body Language

This self-study e-learning course is designed to provide essential knowledge that will help you understand and respond accordingly to signals your dog uses to communicate. 
 

Behavior is a two-way street.

Training your dog is really an ongoing conversation with them. Unfortunately, that conversation can be a little one-sided with us talking at them instead of listening to them. 
By listening to and understanding our dogs’ language, we not only enhance the training process but also build a deeper, more fulfilling relationship with them. Effective communication is a two-way street, and the best trainers are those who recognize and respect the importance of their dog’s voice in the dialogue.
 
 
 

Upon successful completion, you will be able to

  • recognize and interpret the subtle signals of canine body language
  • differentiate between relaxed and stressed body language cues
  • understand how and why dogs use calming behaviors
  • understand the importance of consent when working with dogs
