dog body language & behaviour

The Dog CourseĀ is an in-depth look at dog body language and behaviour. It goes into a LOT of detail and is useful for professionals, but uses everyday language and real life stories so is accessible to all. It combines knowledge gained from thousands of dogs, but is mostly told through my own dogs and combines 25 years of videos and photos of them, along with videosĀ taken by other dog trainers and behaviourists to use in the course.

I can’t begin to express the deep transformation that occurred in every aspect of my life
