This video shows some of the more common calming signals dogs display. Some of the video is from a Behavior Adjustment Training (BAT) session with a dog who is aggressive towards some other dogs, and the rest shows dogs at a dog park. Recognizing calming signals is essential for appropriate use of BAT, and helpful in many other pet-friendly training techniques as well. For more information about clicker training, check out out our articles section and these blog posts discussing BAT in some detail.
