WORKING WITH FEARFUL & REACTIVE DOGS
Using case histories
that are pre-selected, this two-day seminar focuses on understanding canine
behavior, the nature of fear & anxiety, understanding aggression (including bite
etiology). The role of stress, arousal,resilience and environmental factors are
discussed. For all levels
The Elemental Questions provide a thought provoking
and profound approach to exploring the Other. Regardless of training
methodology, these fundamental questions will deeply affect how you approach any
animal and how you see them.
Six "simple" questions that form the basis of
respectful relationships , whether with a dog or any animal or person. While
easily listed, these 6 questions are surprisingly complex in the asking and in
the answering. These questions and their answers shape not only our
relationships with others but also begin to shape how we see & interact with our
world.
Exercises to Build Observation Skills for appreciating & entering the
"umwelt" (an animal's perception of its world), reading body language on a
detailed and whole body basis. Focusing on the dog's sensory input, external
body language, understanding breathing, use of space, orientation, geometry,
tension & more.
Demonstration dogs needed for practice, but no serious training
or behavior problems please. May use a variety of videos.
