This course was suggested to me, and I initially thought, "Interesting, but the dog I'm working with is so calm that I don't see him exhibiting any of these behaviors." Then one evening we were walking and he was obviously uncomfortable with a human-dog pair walking toward us, although the signals he gave were MICRO, indeed. It was not something I would previously have picked up. I likely would have honored his behavior, but I wouldn't have understood with crystal clarity what was going on. Both people in our household have now watched this entire webinar and we very much enjoy Katrien Lismont's knowledge, philosophy, clear presentation, and humor. One of us remarked just today that the course has additionally given the ability to read other dogs' microsigns when we're out walking. Strongly recommended, whether you think you need the knowledge or not.

I'm a pet dog owner, not a trainer and this course is the best resource I have ever encountered on understanding "social" signals my dog gives me while out on a walk. I cannot speak highly enough of this course! My dog isn't reactive, but after watching this course I realized that she does in fact want quite a bit of space from other dogs and sometimes people. Thanks to this course, I'm able to hear her requests and give her the space, cover, and/or time she needs. She's noticeably more relaxed now, which I hadn't realized was possible.

I loved this webinar. It was so interesting and made me think a lot about signals from dogs that I may have been missing before. Can't wait to watch more!

Wow Katrien Lismont offers a wealth of knowledge and experience. I learned so much subtleties of canine behaviour and body language. I'd love to see more from her about nutrition and body language. This lady is great. Please put your books in English, maybe even with audio books, I'd buy them all!!!!

Again, Katrien has blown me away with so much useful information! Her selection of which topics to discuss, how in-depth to go supported by numerous examples and the extremely clear and organized way they are presented, with video rewinds and pointing out details that I’d probably overlook are actually increasing my canine education. I would really enjoy to see more future webinars from Ms. Lismont, either more in-depth on the topics she’s introduced or more TTouch or anything!

Fascinating look at the signs our dogs give us when we are out walking. I'd assumed that sniffing was sniffing but when you see the bigger context and remember how our dogs see the world, it can only make me more compassionate and hopefully patient. Thoroughly recommend.

I can't say enough about this one. I really learned so much about letting dogs take the time to check out the environment. I keep thinking about all of the dogs and owners I have worked with, and we didn't give the dog what was needed. Ugh! So grateful for the compassionate listening skills this (and many other webinars on Grisha's site) webinar gave me.

Your students will thank you. Katrien uses language and images that any dog owner can understand and absorb. I especially loved the succinct and sometimes funny captions in the videos. Dogs will tell us what they need if we give them the time and space. Such a simple concept yet so profound. There is so much actionable advice here. I have been using a combination of Grisha's BAT skills and Leslie McDevitt's Control Unleashed pattern games for students with reactive dogs, and that combination works well for the type of reactivity training that Katrien demonstrates so beautifully in this webinar.

Amazing how many nuances we see everyday and miss them while we’re concentrating on the big picture and so anxious for results!

This webinar is so interesting and puts things into real life context. Katrien is awesome. Her explanations just make sense. LOVED it.

I appreciate this Webinar so much! The information was very interesting and I am grateful for this new perspective it brings me. I have already started noticing my dog's behavior in a new light, and it helps us communicate better. I'm not sure how else to put it; if anyone is considering this course I highly recommend it. Crucial information to better communicate and interact with our dogs.

I thoroughly enjoyed Katrien Lismont's presentation on MicroSigns. He approach is always dog-centric and always spot on. Her use of humor makes even the most seasoned learner have fun. She is practical in her point of view, without losing the depth of knowledge and experience she brings to the table. Lucky us it is on the list of webinars for certification. More Doggy Stuff from Katrien, please!
