Do you know how to read body language?!
These dogs and cats above are showing very obvious body language signs. From relaxed on the left through stressed/fearful in the middle to high arousal/aggression on the right. But there are so many subtle signs in between that are easy to miss unless you know to look out for them. Knowing these signs are essential if you live or work with animals. Do you know what they are?!
Find out in one of our cat or dog body language courses!
We have workplace induction courses for staff who work with animals, as well as courses for pet owners.
