Why Does My Dog React That Way?

Understanding Your Dog’s Social Style & Navigating Dog-to-Dog Interactions with Ease

🎥 90-Minute On-Demand Webinar | Hosted for OHS by Jessica Eden O’Neill, Canine Behaviour Specialist

Every dog has a unique way of socializing. Some are playful and bold, others cautious or selective—and some just want to be left alone. Whether you’re navigating a multi-dog home, introducing your pup to new friends, or wondering why your dog “overreacts” in public, this webinar will help you understand the why behind your dog’s behaviour and give you the tools to support them socially.

This is not a cookie-cutter obedience session. This is about learning to observe, understand, and advocate for your dog’s social well-being.

🧠 In this webinar, you’ll learn:

• The 6 core canine social styles—and how to identify your dog’s type

• What healthy dog play looks like (and what’s not okay)

• How to read body language and emotional states in real-time

• How to choose safe, compatible playmates

• Strategies to build your dog’s confidence without forcing interactions
