It also teaches the “be a tree” posture which is used to encourage a dog to settle down or go away. Learn the subtle signals dogs use when they are uncomfortable. Most dogs give these signals before they growl or snap. Keep kids and dogs safe, adults can learn and watch for signs of anxiety in the dog and intervene if they see them. "How To Play Safely with your Dog " This talk reviews how to meet a dog safely, how to tell if your dog wants to play and what to do if an off leash dog approaches you. We demonstrate basic obedience, games to play with your dog and tricks to teach your dog. Finally we show some of the exercises from the canine good citizen test and give you a taste of the variety of dog sports.
