Separation anxiety: what we know, what we get wrong, and how we can do better with julie naismith

In a field obsessed with novelty, we dare to ask: what if were overlooking the obvious? Prepare to question your assumptions and confront uncomfortable truths about our approach to helping dogs and guardians with separation issues.

UNDERSTANDING + working with predation
with Tracey McLennan
Predatory behaviour can be a huge challenge for dog training and behaviour practitioners. Frequently dogs will choose opportunities to perform predatory behaviour over anything that we may use to reinforce recalls or any other trained behaviour. This internal desire creates a challenge for practitioners helping their clients.
This webinar will cover how to rule in or out predatory behaviour and techniques to help clients in living with their predatory dogs so that it stops being such a huge problem for them.
