Course Details
When people ask me what they need to know to become a dog trainer, I tell them the most important thing is to learn to read canine body language accurately. The subtle things dogs tell us through their body postures help us see if our work is effective or if we need to change things up in order for that particular learner. The dogs will also respond better to you and your training once they understand that you hear what they're saying and react appropriately.
This workshop goes over the basics of what our dogs are telling us, from nose to tail. We will start by looking at each body part individually, and then see what happens when we put it all together, looking at postures and movements, as well as the environment the dog is responding to.
We will also discuss common errors clients make in reading their dogs' body language, and troubleshoot how to teach them how to "speak dog" a little more clearly.
