CHILL OUT! DEALING WITH OVERLY AROUSED DOGS! by Pia Silvani £29.50 Running Time 5hrs 45mins. Seminar Recording 2009. Includes document CD with powerpoint handouts. What is the difference in behavior modification and obedience training for dogs? Do they go hand in hand? What comes first? Many dogs may do extremely well in obedience class, yet still have behavior problems at home. Dogs that are stressed, anxious or conflicted will have trouble learning a new behavior to replace an old one. The dog may become overly aroused, frustrated and exhibit total lack of impulse control, with little or no ability to make good decisions or self-regulate himself. The decision could end up being a dog bite! PUPPIES: Recently, we are seeing more and more puppies coming into class completely out of control. Are these pups simply not getting enough exercise or is there something else going on? Being able to identify red flags as early as possible is critical to the well-being of the dog. Pia conducts and comments on a live puppy play session at the seminar. When is the pup simply being “a brat” and when is it a serious problem that needs to be dealt with quickly before a serious bite occurs? Pia will go over exercises that she conducts in her puppy classes as well as exercises for pups in the shelter environment. ADULTS: The afternoon session of this seminar will deal with adult dogs that lack self control. “He won’t stop biting me!” “I’ve tried time out but it doesn’t work!” “He is beginning to growl at me and we are becoming afraid.” “My children no longer like the dog since they cannot walk into the room without being attacked.” What do you do? Video cases are shown and discussed, along with live demos. How do you know what type of program to put these dogs on and what are the risks, if any? Canine Behaviour Practical Page 1
