The Canine Perspective is a dog behavioural specialist helping to improve relationships between dogs and their owners in Ballina, Lennox Head and surrounding areas. Understanding your dog's behaviour is essential to the positive management of concerns such as barking, digging, jumping up, separation anxiety, and aggression towards humans and other dogs. While helping you understand your dog, our Northern Rivers dog behaviouralist can also show you tips and strategies to help you improve your dog's behaviour. Insights into the nature of dogs are many and varied. Cues can be taken by observing the position of the tail, the ears, the head, and the body. There are also more subtle indications, such as tail wagging. The Canine Perspective can provide one-on-one training with both owner and dog as we well as group classes. Group classes are ideal to help dogs socialise and help train them not to be aggressive around other dogs. We strive to help owners better understand their dog's behaviour patterns . For example, when a dog wags its tail more to the right, its positive emotions are engaged. Other dogs are unruffled at the sight of this right-sided tail wagging. When a dog wags its tail more to the left, however, it's a sign the dog is feeling agitated and, on seeing this, other dogs become more anxious. We also provide training and school for barking dogs. A continually barking dog can be annoying for neighbours and stretch the bonds of neighbourly love. Let the experts at The Canine Perspective help both you and your dog enjoy a better bond.
