Helping Fearful Dogs
Many dog owners, shelter/rescue workers, trainers, and
other canine professionals find anxiety, fears, and phobias to be among the most
challenging behaviors to treat.
This information-packed workshop combines
lecture, photographs, and extensive video footage to explore the art of working
with fearful dogs, with some overlap into fear-based aggression. Topics include:
- Causes and prevention
- How fear manifests
- Recognized and lesser-known
stress signals
- How to work with fearful dogs in the home
- Suggestions for
group classes
- A Firm Foundation program on which dogs can build confidence
-
Skills owners should know
- Skills to teach dogs
- What training equipment is
(and is not!) appropriate
Interactive exercises include participation in
solving a fear-related case history. You will also get an overview of how
complementary therapies can make your treatment plans even more successful.
