Buddy, a spirited Schnauzer, has been giving his family some challenges — showing aggression when visitors arrive, jumping up, pulling on leash, and even chewing up household items. His family is now enrolled in a personalized behavior modification course with Behav-N-Dogs, and I’m excited to work with them to bring more peace, manners, and harmony into their home. I can’t wait to help Buddy learn new skills and support his family on this training journey!

"They're fine"
You don't need to be an "expert" to read body language.
You can just look at these three areas...they can tell you a lot!
Reading tails?
That's an area that can be particularly tricky, but this graphic shows some easier "tells".
There are some more general observations we can all make.

Mouths.
Dogs can close their mouths when they feel uncomfortable.
They can even clamp it firmly shut and you may see a slight "grin".

Eyes.
Dilated pupils, more white of the eyes showing and even a "refusal" to look in a certain direction can all be signs your dog may not be comfortable.
Blinking, squinting and wrinkling around the eyes can be a clue here too.

Ears.
Those wee ears can change position.
They can move flat against the head.
They may lower....sometimes they are almost "slick" against the head.

Face.
Tension shows here.
Wrinkling and tightness.
That tension can create changes to all the other parts mentioned, ears, eyes and mouth.

In saying all of this.....each dog can have their own unique "quirks".
This is just a general guideline.

If you are unsure, look around you.
What is happening near you both is often a clue too.
Context is key.

Meet Sheldon — a handsome 2½-year-old mixed breed who happens to be deaf. His family has reached out for support in addressing a few challenges, including resource guarding the bed in the bedroom and barking at children and passing cars.

Behav-N-Dogs is pleased to partner with Sheldon's family to work through these behaviors using positive, compassionate training methods. I look forward to helping this wonderful dog and his people build even more trust, understanding, and harmony at home and out and about.

Enzo, a handsome 3-year-old Great Pyrenees–Labrador Retriever mix, is getting ready for his first training session with Behav-N-Dogs! His family has shared that he tends to bark at people and other dogs from their balcony and during walks, and he sometimes pulls especially towards other dogs when out and about.

During our upcoming personalized, in-home behavior modification session, we’ll work together to address these challenges. I’ll also provide his family with a customized training plan to help guide their progress between sessions.

Enzo’s family is starting with a single session to see if this approach feels right for them—and that’s exactly why Behav-N-Dogs offers the option to try one session before committing. From there, it’s entirely their choice whether to continue with ongoing training and support.

I’m excited to meet Enzo and help him—and his family—on their training journey!
