Canine Body Language Course 2

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” left_padding=”130″ right_padding=”130″ width=”700″]
Ok, admit it – you are just as addicted to dog watching as I am! If that’s true, then I’m sure that – like me – you will be particularly fascinated by observing how dogs interact together – because although they can’t tell us exactly what’s going on, there are times when it’s obvious what may happen between them – and other times when it can take you completely by surprise. dog playingWhether it’s dogs meeting and greeting, playing with each other, or behaving in a way which is less than sociable, the fact is that we owe it to our dogs to study how they communicate with each other – in order to prevent problems from occurring, help those dogs that already have issues around other dogs, and keep them safe when out and about. If you are an exceptional owner, a trainer or instructor, a member of veterinary staff, behaviour specialist, welfare professional or volunteer – or just have a fascination with dogs – you will benefit from this comprehensive course – bringing to life the hidden language of dogs.  

This course is 3 easy to follow modules where I take you step-by-step through canine meeting and greetings, canine play sex and conflict and predicating dog to dog aggression. [/text_block]

Module 1: Meetings, greetings, stalking and splitting

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” left_padding=”130″ right_padding=”130″ width=”700″]Dog to Dog Introduction Image 1013

Dogs talk to each other with a sophisticated and complex language. They have a wide vocabulary and it’s not limited merely to visual signals, but incorporates sound, scent and touch too.

In this first Module, I take a look at what I regard as the ten most important aspects of dog-to-dog communication – and launch right in to focus on areas that are most controversial and most mysterious. In doing so, I will be debunking the myths that we are so often told about meetings and greetings, and looking with a new eye at some familiar patterns of behaviour that most will recognise but few can explain.

You get ten lessons, plus end-of-module Quiz to see what you have learned.

In this module you will discover:[/text_block]

  • Why only about 20% of dog-to-dog interaction is face to face
  • How to think like a cat! (In order to understand dog behaviour)
  • Why dogs ‘stalk’ each other and the possible consequences
  • The remarkable behaviour that we call ‘splitting’ and the theories behind it
[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” left_padding=”130″ right_padding=”130″ width=”700″]The curriculum:

Introduction

4 Approaches – first impressions count!
5 Speed of Approach

[text_block style=”style_1.png” align=”left” left_padding=”130″ right_padding=”130″ width=”700″]M3 L6 GD_1219 (1)

Ok, I admit it – I did get rather carried away with this Module!

Having broken you in gently in Module One, this second section has 17 lessons to it and over 50 video clips!

The contents are devoted to looking at green and red flags in dog-to-dog interactions, and I don’t hold back. I have new theories on chasing, on controlling space and on why dogs use ‘T-shape’ – a behaviour that often results in conflict.

Also in this Module, how ‘sex’ can be a weapon – and how to spot when it’s likely to cause trouble.

You get 17 lessons including:[/text_block]

  • Why do dogs play – and when is it OK, when is it unsafe?
  • The good, the bad and the ugly of chasing
  • How to spot a potential conflict arising before the dogs even meet
  • Why sex may not just be for reproduction

4 What’s good (usually), part two – Pauses, self-interruptions and self-handicapping
5 What’s good (usually), part three – Exaggeration (including vocalisations)
6 What’s good (usually), part four – Looking at humans, orienting to humans
7 What’s good (usually), part five – Sensible avoidance, sensible appeasement

11 What’s not so good, part three – Alignment

14 What’s not so good, part six – T-shape – new theories!!
