GU- Be polite to your dog - communication at eye level Everything works better with politeness. "Say thank you!" "Take your hand away from your mouth when you speak!", "You don't play with food!" From an early age, we humans are told what is polite and what is less appropriate. "Thank you" and "please" are the first words we learn in a foreign language, because communication is the secret to living together. But only if everyone involved speaks the same language. This applies not only to different cultures, but also to different species such as humans and dogs. This is where Masih Samin's work comes in. The dog behaviour therapist works successfully as an interpreter between humans and dogs and teaches us to understand the language of dogs and thus translate our world and our culture to them. To this end, the differences and similarities in communication between humans and dogs are highlighted and appeasement signals are clearly explained as innate behaviours to avoid conflict. Practical exercises show how to communicate politely with dogs and lay the foundations for communication at eye level. Only communication at eye level makes people and dogs happy.
