Just got your first dog - watch each section, learn from the stories and don't worry about the details. Go to the 'Pet Dog' section of the accompanying notes and I've written down the things that you are most likely to need and find helpful. 

Having training or behavioural problems with your dog - Having helped thousands of dogs and their people over the years the ONE THING that would have made the most difference in every case is the person being able to read and understand their dog better. To be able to say to the dog 'I hear you, I understand you, you don't need to over-react any more.' Watch the course and learn. Read and follow the Pet Dog section of the handouts, especially for any sections that you have an 'A-ha!' moment with. (Note - This course is designed to be used alongside a professional working with you, not as a substitute to that.)

Had dogs for decades - Watch each section, think 'Ooooh, I never noticed that' to bits of it, and 'Ah... so THAT'S why my previous dog did that!' Go to the 'Pet Dog' section of the accompanying notes and work through the sections that tell you things you didn't already know. 

In your first 2 years of working in dog training or behaviour - I’ve got your back. The Pet Dog notes are helpful to make sure you’ve not missed anything, and they have things that you’ll find really helpful to use with clients to get them to look out for specific behaviours in their dog. The professional notes will take you up to the next level in your consultations in filling in the gaps in your own knowledge. (Breathe... you can do this x)

Been working in training and behaviour for about 10 years - Firstly hang on in there and keep up the good work - it can be tough at times, I know. Secondly, have a free copy of my chapter on Tails as a gift from one professional to another. Have a look at the research I’ve done into the direction of tail wag (it’s very different to the university research that came out a while ago,) and then see if it helps you in the cases that you see. If so, there may well be other chapters that you find helpful as well, and there will hopefully be some gems through the course and the professional notes that you can add to your tool kit of reading and understanding dogs.

Vets and medical professionals - I know you’ve got moments to read and assess each dog before you then need to treat them in as safe and stress-free way as possible (for everyone's sakes!) This course will help you to do that in assisting you to read, understand, handle and communicate appropriately with that dog. Read and follow the Professional notes section, in-particular those written for medical professionals. The course also mentions a number of subtle pain signals, some of which are generally known about, some of which are not. You can use these in your assessment of each dog both in your hands on assessment, and also the questions that you ask the owners. 

Charity workers and shelter staff - In order to help the dogs in your care to become their best versions of themselves, you need to quickly, accurately, and safely asses WHO the dog is, HOW they feel, and WHAT they’re trying to say. This course is completely, utterly, absolutely for you and from the bottom of my heart THANK YOU for all that you’re doing to save them x

Fellow Dog Geeks - WELCOME HOME - you have found your people! There are lots (and I mean LOTS!) of photos and videos throughout this course. Watch the course through, then go back and watch some of the videos again, but this time look at a different part of the body that I'm not talking about at that time and begin to analyse the rest of the body language.
