Canine Communication

Welcome to Canine Communication

Canine Communication and Play

Have you ever been unsure if your dog is enjoying a play interaction? Is your dog regularly getting into scuffles, but you don’t know why? Our speaker will teach you all you need to know about dog-to-dog communication and play. You will learn about the hallmarks of healthy, reciprocal play as well as red flags that require immediate intervention. Real-life examples and a breakdown of play behaviors will give you the confidence you need to navigate off-leash interactions.

This class will cover the basics of canine communication so you can better understand why your dog does what he does. You will develop the confidence to:
effectively monitor your dog’s behavior around people and other dogs
recognize signs when your dog is uncomfortable so you can make educated choices
navigate off-leash play while knowing when you should intervene
foster a positive relationship with your canine companion based on mutual understanding
