Would you like to improve your effectiveness and success rate with impulsivity/hyperactivity, reactivity, and fear clients, or are you looking to get started with these types of behavior issues?
This 8-week Mentorship will focus on canine impulsivity/hyperactivity, reactivity, and fear, and will discuss:
- the current scientific understanding
- history taking, assessment, and client communication
- development and implementation of behavior modification specific to these issues
By the end of this course, students should know how to:
- Define and correctly identify hyperactivity/impulsivity, reactivity and fear and explain what leads to the behavior
- Develop effective, comprehensive behavior plans for these issues
- Track progress and make adjustments as needed
- Communicate effectively with clients
The course is ideal for:
- Dog trainers, behavior consultants, and shelter volunteers or staff
- Veterinarians and veterinary staff
- Dog walkers and dog day care staff
- Pet owners may also benefit from taking the course, although they would be best served if done in conjunction with one-on-one work with a certified behavior consultant
This 8-week mentorship provides mentees with ongoing video lectures, documentation, online chat, and scheduled weekly live/online meetings.
