Reading Your Dog:
Body Language Fundamentals

About This Event

What You'll Learn

Most dog owners watch their dog’s tail. But a wagging tail doesn’t always mean a happy dog — and a still dog isn’t always a calm one. In this two-and-a-half-hour workshop, Katherine walks through the full vocabulary your dog is using every time they interact with you, with another dog, or with a stranger.

No dogs required for this session. It’s designed entirely for the humans — and it will change how you see every interaction from that day forward.

“The moment a dog owner learns to read a stress yawn or a whale eye, they stop missing the moments that matter most.”

— Katherine Del Pino, Co-Founder
