Cross "Canine" Cultural Training - Dogs Understand Human Emotions

Translation By Design mascot Bixby (twin brother Quigley not shown) dons a new scarf from his favorite store,  Bananna Republic.    Translation By Design helps businesses and organizations do a better job understanding and communicating with people from other cultures. Communication is two way and is verbal and non-verbal. We help facilitate verbal communication via writen translation and in-person or over-the-phone interpreting. We help facilitate non-verbal communnication via our customized cross cultural training programs that help you understand the behaviorial and cultural nuances of individuals that have different cultural backgrounds than you do.  Gestures, posture, eye contact, speaking proximity, facial expressions can all have different meanings in different parts of the world. These are some of the things we teach in our Cross Cultural Training programs. So when we read this article from the Smithsonian Magazine about dogs understanding the meaning of facial expressions we had to share it!  We wonder if there might be interest out there for Cross "Canine" Cultural Training... The nearby town of Carmel By The Sea would be a perfect test market, LOL!
