The Dog Language & Training course provides a comprehensive understanding of canine communication and effective training techniques. This course focuses on interpreting dog body language, vocal signals, and behavioural cues to build stronger, trust-based relationships between dogs and their handlers.

Learners will explore how dogs communicate emotions such as fear, excitement, stress, and confidence, enabling safer and more effective interactions. The course also introduces positive, reward-based training methods to encourage good behaviour, improve obedience, and address common behavioural challenges such as excessive barking, pulling on the lead, anxiety, and aggression.

Designed for dog owners, pet carers, and aspiring dog trainers, the Dog Language & Training course blends theory with practical techniques that can be applied immediately. By completing this course, learners will gain the skills to understand canine behaviour, respond appropriately to signals, and train dogs using humane, science-backed methods.

This course supports responsible dog ownership, improves animal welfare, and lays a strong foundation for further study or professional work in dog training, pet care, or animal behaviour.
