🎥 The Polite Language of Dogs

This lesson is about understanding how dogs communicate politeness through subtle body language — and how recognizing these signals helps create calmer, more respectful interactions.

🐾 What You’ll Learn

• What polite signals look like, including curving, turning away, slowing down, and avoiding eye contact
• Why these behaviours are often misinterpreted as stubbornness or disobedience
• How everyday situations (like tight leashes or direct approaches) can block communication
• Why dogs may escalate to barking, pulling, or avoidance when polite signals are ignored
• How to support your dog by offering space, time, and gentle movement
• How recognising polite communication leads to less tension and stronger trust
