To affect animals or people is hard, but it can be done in public
without elaborate rituals. All you have to do is listen and watch.
When they talk to you, listen to their words and intonation, watch how
they hold their bodies, in relation to your own and to inanimate
objects. Just take in what they are conveying, both what they want you
to understand and what they want to hide. If you don't understand what
they mean, when you are alone, try doing just as they do, take up the
same stance, and say what they said as exactly as possible. Try to
feel their emotions and motivations.

A few don'ts: Don't draw any conclusions, don't put any words to what
you see, don't talk to other people about your practice. Don't fall
into stereotypes. Do observe how your observations effect your own
behaviour.

A basic book would be Desmond Morris' "People -- a field guide"
(reservation about the title). 

Oh, I shouldn't have to say this, but this is a simplistic (not
simple) charm person spell. It doesn't work on cats, though. 

I hope this helps.
