Canine Body Language
Dogs communicate so effectively without ever uttering a sound, we just aren't listening. You're probably catching the obvious signs such as whining & barking, play bows or baring their teeth, but more often they're using subtle body language such as liplicks, small paw raises, look aways, yawing, blinking, and body alignment to name just a few.
This is a topic I will present during the Socialization Puppy Parties! but it is available as an in-home or "at the park" service as well.
If you have issues with the interactions or over-the-top play-style in your multiple-dog household or at the off-leash dog park, often times this session makes apparent the communication going on right under your nose. Once you understand the nuances of "dog talk" you can make pre-emptive choices to diffuse the situation, solidifying your calm, "all knowing" leadership. Exactly what your dog(s) have been waiting for.
Emotions drive behavior (ex: fear drives aggression).Recognizing your dogs emotions early on and knowing how to handle it, will diffuse many reactive/aggressive issues you may be dealing with.
I must say, Canine Body Language is one of my favorite subjects to teach.
