Body Language and What It can Mean
In this video you will hear explanations from Gwen Bailey (Behaviourist & Founder of Puppy School), about the body language that can be seen by different dogs and why, showing different examples across a range of contexts. This video helps to explain and show how a dog's body language can help us to understand what dogs are trying to communicate.
Dog Body Language For Owners
This video is a good introduction and overview for owners to start to consider their own dog's body language.
If you have concerns about any particular body language that your dog may be displaying, it is worth consulting with a trained professional who can give further advice. Many of our tutors are able to offer 1:1 consultations.
For cases of agression or where a dog's welfare or emotional state is compromised, a Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) will need to be consulted. You can find your nearest registered CAB through the Animal Behavour & Training Council (ABTC) website.

about Puppy School
-
“Attending puppy school had allowed Ozzy to learn new skills. During the classes Sarah and Adam were very friendly and always on hand to offer good advice and tips. They were also very understanding of Ozzy's needs as he can be a nervous at times.”— Susan

“We attended puppy school with our American bully puppy coco, we had already had a terrible experience with another school who made us feel tidally uncomfortable and unwelcome with our puppy. Puppy school Hollywood could not have been more different, Sarah was a fantastic tutor and a real supporter of Coco, encouraging us when the muzzle made exercises that bit more tricky and thinking up modifications so Coco was never left out. We were introduced to the class and the explanation of why Coco was wearing a muzzle was done in a way that we didn’t feel in any way uncomfortable and the other puppy parents were reassured. Thank you so much for giving our very restricted puppy the opportunity to be ‘normal’, I can’t articulate what an impact it had.”— Frances
