Diana R Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 I thought that some DOLers might be interested in participating in this survey - it's from the UK but they are looking for participants worldwide. It only takes 10 minutes or so, but you'd be best off on a computer or tablet to complete it as it requirese you to watch some short videos. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/DogBodyLanguage Cheers Diana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 the first movie is a must see for anyone with a dog or considering getting one. It's very basic but not being able to read the basic body language probably results in quite a few people being bitten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simply Grand Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Yup. That one of the kid going up to the dog on the bed..... You can see how it is that many attacks (for lack of a better word) are on kids by dogs known to them when you watch something like that. I can see it playing out as when the owner is around the dog feels really uncomfortable with whatever the child is doing but looks to their owner, who seems fine about it all so the dog defers to that and just stays still waiting for the kid to go away. Meanwhile, owner, kid and everyone else miss the signs that the dog is uncomfortable and assume that because the dog hasn't tried to move away or given an obvious negative reaction it is ok with the kid doing whatever it's doing. However, suddenly when the owner isn't there but the kid is, the dog is on its own, it doesn't have anyone around that it believes will keep it safe from the weird behaviour of the kid so it feels like it has to fight the kid off itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
