We are often seeking new information to enable our learning to take a step forward. Discoveries of the hidden aspects of behaviour: neurosciences, neurobiology, biopsychology etc, are opening our eyes to greater understanding.
What has been in front of us all the time is what one dog can see and read in another dog. We can learn this as well. This comes from observation and learning the patterns of actions. We begin to see specific behaviours as part of a conversation, and if their subtle meanings are not responded to, then a more obvious posture or behaviour may follow.
During play this conversation never stops. The pups and then adults are watching our every move, learning our patterns and then manipulating us for their enjoyment. We are usually four steps behind. Extensive video watching, with the addition of slow motion, can help us recognise the signals and fully participate in the conversation.
I divide learning into two distinct categories:
where the learner takes active choice of what to do, how to respond, is attentive and making conscious effort

A critical aspect of a dog living in a house with people is that they can learn to urinate outside the house. This
sounds like a biscuit .......
We love comments and appreciate the time it takes to share ideas and give feedback.
When we learn together, we all learn.
Setter Members can share the learning journey with other learners on the course in the Group for this course.
