The behaviors that are initially reinforced dictate the end behavior.

Having behavioral challenges with your dog?

You may be unknowingly sending signals you aren’t aware of on a daily basis that cause your dog to react in a certain way. Our body language, the sound of our voice, our facial expressions, and our thoughts, conscious and subconscious are continuously sending “messages” to the animals in our lives, and they respond accordingly. Whether you are a professional and deal with other peoples’ dogs, or are a pet owner and have personal challenges with your canine companion,  this class will prove to be one of the most valuable assets you have experienced. Class content will consist of  specific information along with supporting photos and videos depicting animals reactions to human communication.

This program will outline, how human body language impacts the reactions of animals. Based on scientific studies of human body language experts, Jo Maldonado has adapted the same principles to animals with remarkable results showing heightened responses of animals. Jo Maldonado has delivered countless lectures demonstrating how a mere shift in human energy immediately changes the behavior of a dog.  Content includes specific body postures, movements, facial expressions, thoughts and sound/voice with validation from photos and videos supporting each.
