K9 Services - Canine Psychology CANINE PSYCHOLOGY FOR SERVICE DOGS As in all specific professions, trades, businesses, and sporting events, a vocabulary exists to assist in communicating efficiently among those individuals engaging in the same activity. Service Dog training and Deployment also have a similar approach to canine psychology. The terms and definitions provided within this program are not intended to be a scientifically valid treatise on the behavior of all canines. The terms used are in place to facilitate the communication between handlers, instructors, and judges about the characteristics a dog displays, strengths, weaknesses, and training needs of the Service Dog. During the course of a Service Dog Handler’s career, many differing terms will be used by other handlers who have received education from various agencies and backgrounds. It will be best if the handler, when in doubt, asks for a definition of the terms being used so as to avoid confusion/misunderstanding. When trying to communicate about a dog's behavior, it will always be more accurate to describe the physical behavior than to assign a name to that behavior. Example; the dog raised his head in the air from downwind of the perpetrators location showing an increase in excitement vs. the terminology of wind scenting. This approach is much more cumbersome but quite accurate.
