HANDS ON APPLICATIONS
|
|
Monday • June 22nd • 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
|
Comprehensive review of body language and facial expression. A wide variety of live dogs & video show the range of dog signals, but now you evaluate the interaction. You develop the observation skills and learn to interpret what you are seeing, up close and personal-- how aggressive dogs telegraph a bite long before they growl, snarl or snap. Participants will be divided in groups and work directly with Sue. Using Assess-A-Pet's score sheets, you will read and record the subtle signals. A one on one critique of your scoring will be given to help you to hone your skills.
