Education for Canine Professionals

Learn to Read Dogs

Trainers . Vet Techs . Groomers . Boarding Staff . Shelter Volunteers

Dogs see with their nose. Dogs need their nose to "understand." We start from the premise that dogs perceive the world differently from us. When we respect that — and learn to see how they are feeling — our work with them changes.

Testimonial l Good Sniffs K9 Behavior Education l Indianapolis

"From the moment I met Margaret and her team, I felt hope. They are some of the most compassionate, intelligent, and genuinely caring people I’ve ever met. They welcomed Clover exactly as she was — nervous, unsure, and overwhelmed — and treated her with such gentleness and patience. And they didn’t just work with her; they worked with me too. They taught me how to read her body language, how to help her regulate, and how to show her she’s safe now. They gave us both the tools to succeed."
