Calming signals
The
calming signals are a part of the dogs'
language. As social animals, they have a
well developed and very varied way of
communication, using mimicry, body language
and sounds. They use their language to
communicate with each other and with us,
telling about their emotions and other
things they want to tell. Some of the
language consist of socalled
distance-creating signals, to make others
keep away, while the calming signals show
politeness, can cut off conflicts before
they have started, and get out of conflicts
already started. The dogs' variety of
communication help them to live in peace and
quiet within the pack, and help solving
conflicts. We will look at the signals and
how to understand dogs, and also how to use
the language ourselves, with pictures and
film.

Stress in dogs
It is important for us to understand how
stress works in the body, and why we and
dogs get stressed. We will look at the
physiology, and the
consequences of stress, and how to avoid the
long term stress that makes us sick and
having behavioural problems like fear,
aggressions and social problems. Many. if
not most, of the behaviour problems we get
in dogs, are a result of stress, so we have
to learn about reasons for stress, how to
see the symptoms, and most important: how to
avoid it or help the dog to
destress. |
