  Description of Seminar/Conference
  
 

Canine Intelligent Disobedience and Cognition: Canine Cognition, Intentionality, and Theories of Mind is a 90 minute to 2 hour live webinar, presented by Barbara Handelman M.Ed., CDBC and Ken McCort, on November 7, 2017 at 8 PM EDT that will be recorded for ondemand viewing after the lecture.

This webinar/lecture is presented by Barbara Handelman and Ken McCort. Together, they will discuss whether “Canine Intelligent Disobedience” is a myth or a reality in the daily activities of service dogs working for people with a wide range of disabilities.  During this lecture, you will hear Barbara discuss how “canine intelligent disobedience” is defined and understood by service trainers.  She will debunk the attached myths, and explain how dogs learn a hierarchy of cues, and respond to them when multiple cues are present.  Most importantly, she will discuss the types of environmental cues that dogs recognize and follow, despite having been given a contradictory verbal directive. Ken McCort will discuss how intentionality plays out in a dog’s response to verbal cues in the presence of contradictory environmental cues. He will guide us through a basic understanding of a dog’s “Theory of Mind” or “Consciousness” – the ability to perceive himself in relation to his surroundings and the canine’s capacity for intentionality. From this lecture attendees will gain a better understanding of how and why dogs accept some verbal cues, and why they may ignore them in the presence of overriding environmental cues. A question and answer session will follow moderated by Dr. Giovanna Rosenlicht, DVM.
