Episode notes
Dogs Read Whole-Body Signals
- Dogs read humans through patterns like facial expressions, movement, tone, and body tension rather than grammar or sentences.
- They process whole-body signals, so dogs often react before any words are spoken.
Communicate With Calm Consistency
- Be consistent, clear, and emotionally calm when communicating with your dog to promote learning.
- Maintain routines to keep your dog feeling safe and receptive to training.
Routine Creates Emotional Security
- Dogs learn via repetition and association, linking experiences directly to emotions like safety or threat.
- Predictable routines give dogs emotional security and accelerate learning.
