Canine Body Language! 🐕🐾🐶

Last weekend I completed a day long course on Canine Body Language, and it was absolutely fascinating!

I thought I already had a good understanding of reading a dog’s body language, but I learnt loads and feel like my skill set has really been expanded 🙌🏻

It was very in-depth, we covered:
🐾 the dog’s face, including eyes, ears, head movements, mouth
🐾The tail and rear end
🐾body shape and movement
🐾vocalisations
🐾pacifying and diffusing behaviours
🐾displacement behaviours
🐾the environmental context
🐾the role of olfactory senses
…plus much much more!

I absolutely recommend this course to all dog professionals and owners alike. Communication doesn’t start when we speak, it starts when we listen. We owe it to our dogs to understand how they are feeling so that we can prevent misinterpretation, so we don’t put them in stressful situations, so we can spot when they are in pain and just to be aware of how the dog is feeling generally.

My enhanced understanding is going to be very useful when walking your dogs so that I can be sure they are happy and content! 🫶🏻

Hello!
Thank you for finding my page! I thought I'd do a little introduction so that you can get to know me a bit better 🥰

I'm Vicky, and my family refer to me as the 'crazy dog lady!'. In all honesty I don't mind as I'm happy sharing just how much I love dogs - all breeds, all ages, from the gentle giants to the tiny tearaways 🐾 I'll talk dog all day long, literally!

I've always wanted to work with dogs, although my first career was as a teacher. I have transferred a lot of my teaching skills to working with dogs and their owners, such as using positive reinforcement methods to build relationships built on trust. I believe that all dogs deserve to be treated with kindness, and you'll only ever find me using positive reinforcement methods with your dog.

I have 2 English Springer Spaniels of my own (Cooper & Milo) and they are my world! I love seeing them happy and exploring the hills and moorland around Stalybridge, Carrbrook and Saddleworth. We've been walking these hills for years & so I know all the best spots for your dogs to enjoy! ⛰

In addition, I'm currently completing a level 3 course with the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers so that I am best placed to understand how dogs learn, and I have completed short courses on Canine Body Language, Loose Lead Walking, Recall and how pain is linked to behaviour in dogs. I don't profess to be a trainer on any level, but I like the understanding it gives me and I think we owe it to our dogs to understand as much as we can about them 🥰
