**ENROLL NOW**

Instructors:

Devi Do, Jayne Fine, and Julie Neuman

Learning Objectives:

• When you’re dealing with aggression, fear, anxiety, leash reactivity, or resource guarding, there is a maze of possible challenges and plans you need to navigate. Let’s face it, behavior cases can be tricky and they’re not easy to handle on your own.

• Learn how to listen to clients and change expectations, then build realistic plans and gain buy-in.

• Work on real case studies with expert guidance our team of professional trainers, all while getting support and discourse from your fellow students in our private online CATCH Community.

Speak Dog: Mastering the Art of Canine Body Language, with Catherine Comden

Start Date: April 6, 2026

**ENROLL NOW**

Learn to speak the language that dogs are using! Dogs are communicating with us, and each other, constantly – but unless you know how to read their subtle signals, it’s easy to miss what they’re really saying. In this powerful workshop, you’ll learn to decode canine body language like a pro and respond with skill and confidence. This course blends science, real-life video analysis, and engaging discussion to help you understand dogs – what they’re feeling, what they need, and how to positively impact their behavior for training success.

Instructors: Caitlin Hogan, Jayne Fine, and Catherine Comden

Meet Your Guest Instructor:

In addition to being a pro trainer and behavior counselor, Catherine Comden has been a trainer of hearing alert and service dogs, a breeder of service dogs, and a behavior program manager at a busy, open-admissions shelter. She is also the leading writer of the CATCH Curriculum and leader of the CATCH Community! Catherine has decades of experience “talking dog” on the highest level and she can’t wait to share her tips and tricks with you.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn to accurately identify key signals and understand the meaning behind a dog’s posture, facial expressions, movement, and vocalizations.
• Build fluency in reading real-time interactions between dogs and people, or dog-to-dog, using video analysis and guided observation techniques.
• Gain the ability to read a dog’s emotion and intent. Recognize early warning signs of fear, anxiety, and aggression – before behavior escalates.
• Build confidence in using body language interpretation to make better training decisions and prevent conflict.
• Connect with fellow learners and Catherine in our private online CATCH Community as you practice “speaking dog” together.

We’ll focus on advanced skill development, including chaining behaviors, creating fluency, and applying your training systems to real-world behavior modification cases.
Through collaborative discussion and case-based learning, you’ll strengthen your ability to confidently “engineer” behaviors while adapting to the dog and handler in front of you, all with support from instructors and peers in the CATCH Community.

In this workshop, you’ll gain practical skills for task training, insights into ethical best practices, and a clearer view of what makes a great service dog team.

Instructors: Jayne Fine and Jordyn Hatfield
