Course Overview

This course explores canine behaviour and communication to support safer, more confident handling in everyday and clinical settings. Attendees will learn how dogs express stress, discomfort, and fear, and how recognising these signals early can reduce risk and improve welfare.

Suitable for professionals and dog owners, the course focuses on practical observation skills, body language, and behaviour cues that influence handling, treatment, and interaction. Emphasis is placed on creating safer experiences for dogs and the people working with or caring for them.

This course is ideal for anyone looking to improve handling skills, reduce stress for dogs, and build confidence through a better understanding of canine behaviour.
