In Lesson 3, we delve into the intricate world of canine emotions, focusing on identifying signs of stress and anxiety in your furry companion through the world of canine body language.

Understanding your dog’s emotional state and language is crucial for their well-being and for building a strong bond between you.

Throughout this lesson, you will learn to decipher subtle cues and behaviours that indicate your dog may be experiencing stress or anxiety. From body language to vocalisations, we’ll explore the various ways dogs communicate their emotions and by sharpening your observational skills, you’ll be better equipped to recognise these signs in different contexts, whether it’s during interactions with other dogs, in new environments, or in response to specific triggers.

Through interactive exercises and real-life examples, you’ll gain practical knowledge that empowers you to provide the support and reassurance your dog needs during challenging situations.

Ultimately, by mastering the art of recognising signs of stress and anxiety in detail, you’ll strengthen your ability to nurture a happy, healthy, and emotionally balanced relationship together.

In addition to understanding their communication, it’s imperative to acknowledge that your dog could be experiencing pain to some degree. Pain often serves as the primary catalyst for reactive behaviours, even if veterinary examinations suggest otherwise.
