Reading stress signals and other significant body language dogs use to communicate

It is so important to understand and learn how to read what your dog’s body language means before trying to implement any behaviour modification techniques as it tells us how they feel.

When changing these types of behaviours we need to be continually look at their emotions so we reinforce the emotions we should be. Our goal is not only to teach alternate behaviours but also change the dogs emotional outlook on the situation, especially in cases where the dog has an intense negative emotional response we want to ensure that we are not just training them a new behaviour but rebuilding a more positive outlook and emotional response.
