Body Language

Dogs and cats are primarily non-verbal in their communication style. They only speak one language (and HINT: its NOT English!)

Treatment of behavior conditions relies on managing fear, anxiety, stress, and/or aggression. It is not possible to do this effectively if you are unable to communicate with your pet. Here are several learning resources for body language:
