A comprehensive LIVE, IN PERSON, (Not Virtual) 1-day workshop addressing multiple K9 behavior issues. Trish dissects the capabilities and limitations for different dogs, differing owner-family situations and trainers in the observation, analysis and solution planning for behavior problems.
In this seminar Trish will explore canine behavior problems from 3 viewpoints:
- THE DOG OWNER (the person having to deal with the issue)
- THE TRAINER/CONSULTANT (the person brought on board to help)
- THE DOG
Using case studies, Trish will focus on the 3 pillars of behavior modification and management:
1. OBSERVE
List the issues
What is happening?
How often does it happen?
What sparks the issue?
How is the dog feeling?
2. ANALYSE
Why is the dog engaging in the behavior?
Analyzing the owner’s attitude, capability and comitment.
Acceptance is necessary to modify behavior.
3. MAKE A PLAN
What is the dog capable of?
What are the owners willing to do?
Developing modification & management plans by behavior, that takes everyone’s lives into account!
