Spotting the Signs: Understanding Dog Body Language

In part 2 of this training series you'll learn how to better understand and safely interact with dogs by reading their body language. This video covers the main factors that influence a dog’s behaviour, the emotions and motivations behind their actions, and the differences between relaxed states and signs of fear, anxiety, or frustration. You’ll explore the 'wheel of communication', discover how trigger stacking affects dogs and see how health and wellbeing can shape behaviour. These insights will help you build trust and prevent misunderstandings in your interactions.
