It may come as no surprise that working with adolescent dogs has its own challenges.  But have you ever thought about what may be happening at the neurobiological level and why these behavior patterns happen the way they do?  This presentation will look at what we think we know about what's happening in the brain during this developmental period, as well as how knowing this information can shape our training plans and our overall understanding of how to navigate this period successfully.

As dogs are increasingly seen as part of the family, we also want to make them happy. At the same time, research shows that dogs are sentient beings with species-specific needs. Modern approaches to animal welfare are not just about preventing harm, but also about providing positive experiences. This webinar will begin by looking at the role of emotions in a dog’s welfare, before sharing scientific research on dogs – and practical tips you can use with your own or clients’ dogs.

What is behavior for? How does experience change our behavior, that is, how do we learn? In this presentation, we will take a natural science perspective on learning and behavior to better understand, predict and change where necessary, the behavior of the animals in our care. This talk is designed to expand your understanding of 5 fundamental and inspiring topics: 1) An evolutionary view of learning and behavior; 2) a review of the science of behavior-change called behavior analysis; 3) ABC assessment to better assess behavior in conditions; 4) the errorless learning philosophy and training strategies; 5) the relevance of the least intrusive, effect teaching procedure to address the ethical use of training procedures. This talk is a big picture overview and a perspective-changer, for sure.

This webinar is for everyone who loves their dog, but struggles with feelings of overwhelm when it comes to their care. Together, we explore why life with your dog can feel so overwhelming sometimes, and what we can do to make things feel a little easier.
You will learn emotional and practical strategies that you can use immediately
