The Behaviour Aware Network is a professional learning space for those working with dogs who want to deepen their understanding of canine behaviour and communication.
Whether you are a dog walker, groomer, sitter, or working within the pet industry, the way dogs behave in your care matters. Subtle changes in behaviour, body language, and interaction can provide important insight into how a dog is feeling and coping within their environment.
This network has been created to support professionals in recognising those signals, understanding what they may mean, and responding in a way that prioritises welfare.
Inside the Behaviour Aware Network, you will find:
– Educational videos covering canine behaviour, communication, and emotional states
– Guidance on recognising early stress signals and behavioural changes
– Insights into topics such as play, arousal, and environmental influence
– Ongoing discussions designed to build confidence and understanding
– Support in identifying when a dog may require referral to a qualified behaviour professional
This is not a training course and does not qualify members to assess or modify behaviour cases. Instead, it is designed to build awareness, encourage reflection, and support safe, ethical decision-making when working with dogs.
The more we understand about canine behaviour, the better we are able to support the dogs in our care.
