Body language opens up a conversation, sometimes an invitation from one dog can be a request for space from another.

Some tactics work well for avoidance, jumping up stops people leaning over, licking moves children away and showing a belly might mean you can’t do something else, such as putting on a harness.

We aren’t supposed to be experts, but we can gather information, stay informed, open our minds and conversations.

It’s so important to understand your dogs body language!

For humans, "No" is often understood as "don’t do that," but this doesn't provide clear direction for our pets.

Dogs don’t always understand the reasoning behind "No," and it doesn't guide them toward an alternative behavior.

Instead of simply telling them what not to do, we should focus on teaching them what to do instead.

This approach is key because it helps dogs learn desired behaviors and make good choices independently in the future.

Imagine rewarding good behavior so consistently that your dog begins to choose those behaviors without needing your instruction. Over time, this creates a dog who can make decisions based on positive habits, even when you're not there to guide them!

What’s one undesirable behavior your dog exhibits, and what could you say instead of "No" to redirect it?

Don’t let this handsome face fool you! Walter is a 9mth old teenager who likes to jump, mouth, and hump! Navigating through these teenage months can try one’s patience, but Mom and Dad are doing great! We worked on going to his place on cue, and staying there when there is a knock at the door. Well done!
