Have you ever wanted to walk in your dog’s paws and see the world through his eyes? Now you can by gaining a greater understanding of your dog’s world, body language, and behavior - making it easier to communicate and build a powerful BRAVE relationship together.
In this course, you’ll gain fresh insight into who your dog is, making it easier for you to understand and respond to each other as a BRAVE team. First, we’ll explore dogs’ amazing senses, their emotional lives, and the 5 cognitive dimensions. Then you’ll see how this understanding can shift your reactions to common, everyday challenging behaviors and allow you to have two-way “conversations” with your dog. You’ll teach your dog a useful life skill, put a prevention strategy in place, and practice with real-life examples, all helping to strengthen the BRAVE bond you have with your dog.
This course will help you:
- More effectively identify misunderstandings between you and your dog.
- Appreciate your dog’s sensory experience, rich emotional life, and deep intelligence.
- Enjoy two-way communication with your dog: “listening” with your eyes and “talking” with cues.
- Teach your dog the life skill of waiting (thinking before acting).
