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 learn how specific complementary therapies and products
can make your treatment plans even more successful.
Whether you are a
professional or non-professional, you will leave with a better nderstanding of
shy, anxious, and fearful dogs, and plenty of new techniques and ideas you can
try out immediately.
