Relationship Centered Training

Reading dogs well is critical to good training, because timing depends on observation skills. Whether teaching a new pup simple skills or polishing a performance, the dog will tell you a world of information about how it’s going on his end. Does he need support? time? more reinforcement? a break? How do you know? Your dog will tell you, if you know what to look for. Canine body language is a beautiful and complex language that must always been considered in context, and as a whole. This webinar is a new take on Suzanne’s Geometry of Canine Body Language.

For anyone who work with many dogs, or anyone that wants to better understand their dog, this approach provides a powerful framework for assessing and understanding any dog so that humane, effective handling is possible.

Knowing what to look for is key. Join us to learn this easily understood approach to reading canine body language in sophisticated ways.

Using video and photos, we will explore:

• Geometry & “meta-messages”
• Orientation
• Curves
• Flexion
• Speed & amplitude
• Stillness & movement
• Arousal & its affect on body language

Join us to develop new observation skills and a useful structure for understanding canine body language – because Dog is in the details!
