Line Sandstedt started working with dogs in 1983 with a male German Shepherd. She reached Class III in obedience, the highest level in agility (competed in the Norwegian Championships both individually and as part of a team), and Class B in working dog trials. Since then, she has had several dogs she has competed with. She has competed at the elite level in obedience with German Shepherds and Golden Retrievers, and at Class III level with an English Setter. Although she no longer competes in obedience, in recent years she has trained and competed in retriever hunting trials. She was certified as a Level I instructor through the Norwegian Kennel Club in the late 1980s, and Level III in obedience in the late 1990s. She has taught instructor courses and obedience courses both in Norway and abroad. Line runs and owns Dyrebar Omsorg AS (formerly AntrozoologiSenteret).

Lecture: The Dog’s Emotions, Behavior, and Communication

Welcome to a lecture on how to strengthen the bond with your four-legged friend by understanding and responding to your dog’s emotions. Your ability to interpret your dog’s body language is crucial for maintaining a healthy and harmonious relationship. Your dog communicates with you in its own way—it’s up to you to listen and respond appropriately. During this evening, we will dive into the emotional world of dogs and explore what they’re trying to tell us. We’ll look at the various signals and behaviors they exhibit, and how these reflect their inner feelings and needs. By becoming more aware of these signals, you’ll be better equipped to understand what your dog is trying to communicate, and in turn, build an even stronger bond with them. New research continues to uncover subtle “nuances” in canine communication. Did you know, for example, that your dog wags its tail to the right when it’s happy, but to the left when it’s sad or angry? This is just one of many fascinating insights we’ll explore during the lecture. Whether you’re an experienced dog owner or simply curious about the topic, you’re warmly welcome.
