A Comprehensive Guide to Canine Communication

A Science Pub lecture with Brie Blakeman, Certified Canine Behavior Consultant (CBCC-KA) and Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA), founder of Noble Woof Dog Training.

Dogs are always communicating – but are we really listening? In this comprehensive presentation, learn to recognize and respond to your dog’s complete communication system. From subtle stress signals to the full ladder of escalation, understanding canine body language is essential for creating trust, preventing behavioral issues, and even preventing dog bites.

Whether you’re a professional trainer, veterinary staff, a dedicated dog owner, or someone who simply encounters dogs frequently, this presentation will transform how you read and respond to dogs – building trust through genuine understanding of what they’re trying to tell us.

Science Pubs are a casual lecture series located in fun venues across the region, recommended for ages 10 and over.
