    Webinar – 5/13/21 – Broken Connection: Why Your Dog Loses Focus with Nicole Wiebusch – FDSA (fee applies)

    Does your dog disconnect from you during training? Would you like some ideas on how to fix and prevent disconnection? Having a training plan and systematically working your way through increasing criteria, distractions, and generalization can go a long way toward reducing disconnection.

    During this webinar we will define disconnection and discuss common reasons that dogs disconnect from their handlers. We’ll talk about how to figure out why dogs disconnect, and we’ll cover ways to fix it and prevent further disconnection in the future. You will be shown video examples of several different scenarios in which the dog disconnected and we’ll talk through what likely happened. You will come away with a better understanding of why dogs disconnect and what you can do about it.

    Note: this webinar will not cover extremely fearful dogs. That in itself is a complicated subject and there are other classes at FDSA that are better equipped for helping your fearful dog.

    This is a repeat webinar. Please check your webinar library before purchasing.
