Training our furry companions is essential for both their well-being and ours. However, many owners find it challenging to interpret their dog's behavior, body language, and emotional cues, making effective communication and training a struggle. This project aims to explore how we can better understand these signals and apply cognitive principles to improve training methods. Guiding this research is our own 3-year-old beagle, whose everyday interactions provide valuable insights into the world of canine communication and learning.
