Assessment Details
This assessment has two parts, video A and video B.
For EACH video you must create a table that explains what you are observing, using the terminology you have been taught over the past 3 weeks.
Break the video’s down in to 30sec sections. Create a table that explains what you see, how the animal is feeling, and what it is trying to communicate. You may repeat yourself in several sections, but it is vital that you describe every single behaviour signal that you see in each 30sec section, as you are training your eye to observe and explain each small signal.
Remember to review the Jaak Panksepp emotional states from your IPDC course.
Use the below table as a guide to follow.
| Time | Signals Observed | Emotional State | What is the dog communicating |
| 0-29sec | Rapid movement, avoided eye contact, piloerection, pupil dilation, facial tension. | Fear / Panic | Give me space |
Submission Details

Create a word document. Use font as recommended in prior assessment, and again, follow guidelines from prior assessment, though you do NOT need to write out the question for this submission, simply categorise as Video A and Video B. Please provide as much information as you can into the document, but ensure you are only reporting what you see. This assessment is simply interpreting what you see, not what may hypothetically be happening.
