Learn to "talk dog" and be SAFER and smarter around all dogs.
That dog looks friendly, but is it safe to approach or is it warning you to stay away? We all know to keep away if a dog is growling, but what if a dog is licking its lips, yawning, or shaking off? Are those behaviors to be concerned about? How about if a strange dog approaches you? What do you do? Learn how to read dog body language to know when a dog is safe or dangerous to approach.

Don't take our word, just listen to the pros
“Your materials I think are wonderful for professionals who work with kids and dogs, but also for families...they are very playful and attractive that kdis would enjoy.”
“I found this all to be very complete and easy to follow. The creative games were a hit for all ages and really made learning about dogs and behavior fun.”
“What I love about what you have created is the whole concept that this (dog bite prevention) doesn't have to be scary.”
“We love it! My son couldn't stop watching the videos. I'm really surprised how much of an interest he now takes in our dogs. Him having these exercises as a step-by-step guide is amazing. He's excited and wants to work with the dogs every day. My dogs are equally as excited to work with him. He needed this in a program that was for him. ”

Even cute little dogs can bite
Dog bites are not breed specific, size of dog specific, or age specific. Any dog can bite, even dogs you've known for years. The more you know about dog body language and how dogs communicate, the safer and smarter you'll be around dogs, on and off the job.
