Seize the Leash - Communication and Emotion in Dogs Seminar

Sometime in August - $40.00 per person (discounts apply to current and former clients of Seize the Leash)
Dogs have a complex emotional and logical range with which they attempt to communicate with each other, their humans and other species. Dogs are devoted creatures with an intellectal and emotional response to life.

The first segment of this seminar will cover all aspects of canine communication using slides, film and live dogs. We will address aggression, fear, dominance, submission and friendliness, with all their multitude of expressions.

The second segment will give you a thorough understanding of canine social behavior. We will observe dog behavior and discuss and interpret what the dogs are doing, by analyzing the subtle and not so subtle aspects of their body language. Our intent is to heighten your ability to recognize what is being communicated, when, and to what degree,

The third segment will focus on bridging the communication gap between human and dog. We are communicating with our dog all the time, whether we intend to send a message or not, but, what do these words and movements mean to our dog? Video footage and live demonstrations will help you to recognize the difference between your intended message and what the dog is apparently perceiving. Additional footage and demos will help show the unintended effects on the dog of our often-unconscious words and body movements.
