This course will review both cat and dog body signals. The better you can read an animals' signals, the safer you can be when interacting with them. Students will be asked to become familiar with a variety of visual, auditory, and olfactory systems used by animals in communication. This course is designed for anyone who wants to expand their knowledge of how dogs and cats communicate their intentions and emotions through their signals.
