This veterinary approved webinar is most suitable for canine professionals who run dog day-care centres, work in rescue or for dog walkers who may wish to integrate dogs safely. It may also be of interest to those who are studying canine behaviour or for dedicated dog owners who wish to get another dog and be able to introduce them safely. The webinar has been written and designed by a qualified and working clinical animal behaviourist and experienced registered veterinary nurse.
The webinar is broken down into bite-sized lessons, accompanied by multiple learning processes, including some written content, demonstration videos, external resources, recommended reading and scientific references. There is a self-directed task that I have suggested for you but this is not a marked piece of work. It has been designed to help you bring together and apply some of the knowledge you have acquired throughout your studies on this course. I have included some of my feedback and thoughts so you can see how you did.
There are no exams but to obtain your certificate you must answer a few multiple choice questions at the end of the course.
Course aims:
- Learn the benefits of play as well as the pitfalls that can arise if introductions are not carried out safely.
- Learn canine communication signals and provide you with a sound foundation for being able to recognise when interactions are positive and when to be concerned.
- Tips for how and when to intervene are covered along with a range of ideas that can help engage a dog if they do not fit into a group or indeed who may not be able to integrate with others safely.

Reviews
fantastic overview of dog behaviour and interactions providing all the skills needed
I’m starting to organise some puppy classes/socialisation events in the practice I work in, this is a very useful course to give the knowledge to start organising and structuring these events
I’ve now completed a number of courses from this website, all are very informative, clear to follow & explain all aspects in great detail – I will be back for more & most definitely recommend
Very helpful that the theory is backed up with videos. This visualisation made it easy to retain relevant warning signals and how to deal with them. A really useful course to have done for my home boarding business.
Fantastic course and lots learned that I wouldn’t have thought of before hand. Thanks very much!
Definitely recommend. Video brought learning to life.
Very helpful.. content is easily applied to doggy care environment.
Gained knowledge and confidence
I really enjoyed this seminar. It was very in depth and covered a lot of useful and interesting areas. I found it beneficial for developing my knowledge in this area.
Some really good visuals to demonstrate the different areas. The course goes into what to look for, the warning signs and the signs that the play is going well. I liked MARS and also the consent check. When dogs are interacting it can change from play to problematic very quickly so knowing how to spot the signs early enough is essential and this course covered it well.
I would definitely recommend to anyone who has a dog.
Learnt a few surprising techniques even with my 19 years experience really fun to have a few more extra tips and ideas to hand!! Thank you!
This is a really helpful and easy to understand course, going into much detail about how to achieve happy and positive interactions between dogs, and also how to spot problems, read dog body language and avoid bad experiences. Many video links which were helpful and memorable. Thanks Caroline, highly recommended course for dog owners, dog walkers and anyone working with or training dogs.
