Canine Body Language
Do you ever wonder what dogs are really communicating with their body language and facial expressions? Get answers with Village Canine.
Dogs are very expressive and use their body language to communicate with humans and other dogs. However, natural behaviors and communication are often missed or unintentionally suppressed. Village Canine takes the guesswork out of reading body language and communication so we, together, can prevent behavioral challenges before they start.
