Photo 1 I imagine the tail tucked into the body going 1 mil miles an hour
'hello, are you going to eat me?? I would quite like to be friends, Im nice and little, are you going to eat me?'

Deff nervous and unsure but friendly.

I think it's pretty clear what's going on in this series but I thought it was a nice example so I'm sharing. This is Cain at socialisation class learning manners from their teaching dog. These were taken back in early summer, he's learned a lot since then and doesn't wear so much equipment anymore

These are not my photos and are copyright Dog Communication.

No one impressed?

C'mon it's Cain....

......the social pariar........



.........being normal!

What a clever boy Cain! Great to see him using his canine communication skills.

Lol MM - I did look and think awww, but "awww" is too short for a message

Great pictures
Nice to see Cain using some good social skills there you got any of your more recent classes?

It's great to see Cain that relaxed as it isn't how I imagine him from your posts!!

How did you find the socialization group? It's something I'd be interested to take Teg to.

Thanks all. I just love the way he rushes over so rudely, all high ears and tail. Takes one look at Beama, realised it's a bad move them shows beautiful displacement "la la la, I'm just sniffing the flowers" behaviour Even better is the ever so subtle signs from Beama, she barely moves.

None yet, I meant to take some with my new camera last week but forgot. I'll try and take some next time. I wish I could have caught the pacifying signals he was giving to the dog that was pestering him last week, it was so clear.

I searched online but didn't turn anything up. It was actually someone on Dogsey who told me it and thankfully it was only an hours drive away. There's not many around, I know if Angela Stockdale in Cornwall which is obviously no good for you. I know some who come to our class drive from Brighton, one person drives three hours one way! I'll ask my group if they know of one closer to you though

I saw an advert for one class which sounded like it involved throwing all dogs in a secure area and sitting back with a coffee!
Not quite what I was looking for! If you could ask that would be great, thank you.

Sadly they don't know of any groups near you
