Sunday, July 12 from 5:00 - 7:30 pm
Dogs communicate constantly through their body language—but many of their signals are subtle and easy to miss. In this two-hour webinar, you’ll learn how to recognize what your dog is telling you so you can respond in ways that build trust, prevent problems, and support them.
You’ll learn to identify early signs of stress, fear, uncertainty, and relaxation, and understand how posture, facial expression, movement, and distance-seeking behaviors reflect your dog’s internal state. Recognizing these signals allows you to intervene early, advocate for your dog, and make everyday interactions safer and more positive.
You’ll learn how to:
- Recognize early stress and discomfort signals
- Identify signs of relaxation and readiness to engage
- Interpret posture, facial expressions, and movement
- Respond in ways that help your dog feel safe and understood
- Prevent escalation of fear, reactivity, and conflict
This webinar is appropriate for pet parents of dogs of all ages and requires no prior training experience.
