Canine Basic Behaviour 101
Safe, positive and healthy human to dog interactions start with learning to understand and speak their language. This 2.5-hour course has been designed to give Animal Professionals, Rescue Volunteers and dog owners the tools necessary to better read canine body language, correctly determine the animal’s emotional state, understand their needs, and recognize early warning signs of behavioural concerns. In addition to learning how to read canine body language, this course also reviews the distinct training needs of each breed group, and investigates least intrusive, minimally aversive, training techniques designed to satisfy the unique needs of the individual dog.
Topics that will be covered are:
