A strong bond begins with clear communication. Dogs are always speaking to us through their body language, but many of their signals are subtle — and often misunderstood.
In this interactive masterclass, you’ll learn how to see the world from your dog’s perspective and respond in ways that make them feel safe, understood, and connected.
We’ll cover:
- Body language essentials, from posture and tail carriage to eye contact and movement
- Stress vs comfort signals, like spotting the small signs that tell you when your dog needs support
- Context: why a “yawn”, “shake off” or "wagging tail" might not always mean what you think
- Practical advice to help you anticipate behaviour and prevent problems before they start
This session will give you the tools to read your dog and be able to anticipate how your dog feels in real time, adjusting your handling to build trust.
