Body Language Beyond the Lip Lick
Is It Time to Throw Away the Bath Water and Change the Baby?
Course Summary
Rethink what you see. Redefine what you know. Presented by Chirag Patel
Body Language Beyond the Lip Lick: Context, Contingencies & What Behaviour Really Tells Us
This isn’t your typical body language seminar. In this online session, Chirag invites you to look beyond the familiar charts and one-size-fits-all interpretations of body language. Instead, we’ll dive deeper into the the topic exploring the theories and practical examples — guided by presentation, real-life video, and opportunity for you to ask questions and discuss. Using case footage from multi-dog household, veterinary handling, and puppy-puppy interaction, Chirag will present the information in a way thats practical, providing you with insights and tools you can apply right away.
We will explore:
✅ Why common body language “translations” (like “lip lick = stress”) often miss the mark
✅ The problem with jumping from behaviour to emotion without considering function and consequence
✅ How to observe behaviour as part of a larger contingency, not in isolation
✅ What to do with “conflicting” signals—when a dog wags its tail and growls
✅ What does saying "they looked stressed" mean and does it stop them from learning?
✅ Self reinforcing behaviours? What does that mean and is it true!
✅ Real video case studies from multi-dog homes, vet visits, and puppy sessions
🎥 This isn’t just theory—you’ll see real-time behaviour, narrated analysis, and practical takeaways you can use tomorrow.
Perfect for: Trainers, behaviourists, vet professionals, students of behaviour analysis, and thoughtful pet guardians who want to move beyond quick labels and learn to observe like a behaviour scientist.

✅ Over 4.5 hours of recorded content
