Course Overview and CE Credits
This course will teach you to read dog body language and to understand how dogs communicate with their various body parts. You will learn how to look for clues in a dog's body postures and in the environment to help you decide whether a dog wants to interact or is best left alone. Happy dogs are easier to train, less likely to develop behaviour problems and less likely to bite. The information you gain from this course will be useful to anyone who owns a dog, works with dogs or encounters other people's dogs on the job or during leisure time. If you own or work with dogs, you will learn how to tell if some aspects of the dog's life are causing anxiety so that you can work to reduce these, resulting in a happier dog that is easier to train and live with.
This course is intended for parents, dog owners, dog industry professionals, veterinary professionals, people who encounter other people's dogs on the job, home day
care professionals, social service workers and anyone who is interested in dog behaviour.

I have reviewed the on-line course entitled Doggone Safe Basic Body Language and have found it to be user friendly and informative. This course would be useful for veterinarians, veterinary technicians and other staff. The course teaches about dog body language and how to interpret this for the benefit of both people and dogs. The information provided will be useful for veterinary staff in their dealings with dogs and in providing ideas for teaching about dog body language to their clients.
