Dogs can have all kinds of behaviours, and whether or not their human considers the behaviour to be an issue is very much a personal consideration. But having a dog with a behaviour issue is hard. Often, the dog is struggling and the person is struggling too. People can experience a wide range of negative emotions, and in turn this can influence their likelihood of following a reward-based training plan. This webinar series will look at the research on the human side of having a dog with issues and explore how this can help us to do a better job of supporting dog guardians.
Students will be able to:
Describe the emotional impacts of having a dog with a behaviour issue
Understand the interactions between emotions and dog training approaches
Integrate incremental plans for teaching people about dog behaviour issues
Consider supporting the person as part of the plan for classes or private consults
Appreciate the importance of positive messaging
