Thank you, Dr. Dunbar and Jamie. Listening to these discussions helps me understand my dog’s reactivity. I am trying your suggestions and they are working!

[@DunbarAcademy]

Awesome! We're happy to help. Best of luck with your dog!

Question: Does that mean you'll be taking "aggressive" dogs in the seminars?

[@DunbarAcademy]

Ian's latest round of seminars are all lectures, no workshops, so alas, no dogs will be allowed at any of them

Canine communication is multi faceted. One of the most underrated is body language. Socialisation is complex and over socialisation can mean you simply swap out one set of problem behaviours for a different set. One size of anything is seldom going to fit all. Click and treat has become a poor way of dealing with problems. I have always preferred verbal, whistle and touch as a more realistic and versatile way of marking behaviour. Socialising puppies myself, and with clients I prefer a cross section of sizes types energies and ages. You’re looking well old timer❤ interesting Topic dealt with in a non sensational way. This is how dog trainers should cover subjects

[@DunbarAcademy]

Thank you! Yeah, learning to read dog body language is invaluable for training and living with dogs, and it's a real shame that so many dog owners, and even dog trainers, don't know how to use their voice to effectively communicate with their dog, manage their behavior, reinforce good behavior and redirect unwanted behavior. But we're going to bring it back!!!
