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.

about Puppy School

“Good fun and very relaxed classes. Small numbers in class so we got lots of attention from Sarah. Step by step approach which I could then work through and practice with Taz during the week.”— Anna

“Puppy School has been an all round excellent package from start to finish but the greatest asset to this training was Sally! Sally was calm, clear and responsive to us all so you feel you get the benefit from being in a group of handlers and puppies with all the benefits of that but also individual attention to support you and your puppies specific needs/issues. Banjo is a nervous puppy, Sally was very sensitive to this and managed situations so Banjo benefitted from all the training exercises and interaction in a very positive way. She also gave me lots of support in how to help him outside of class. It was also brilliant to have a booklet and online access at home to watch reminder supporting material videos of the things taught in each session. There were also a range of vouchers and free trial bags of different foods which has proven helpful in determining what works for Banjo. I have had several puppies over the years, and have been to several classes, this has been the best experience yet for both me and my puppy. Thanks especially to Sally! ”— Maria

“I would, and have already, recommended Puppy School! I messaged Julie before signing up as I had some questions about how the sessions would be run. Julie got back to me quickly and I booked easily online. Julie is very friendly, approachable and has a great deal of knowledge and experience to share. The classes were all very well run and very enjoyable for both pups and owners. The exercises were good and well thought out. ”— Charles
