Presented by: Morag Heirs

Scentwork has taken off across the world as a fun activity to share with your dog, and there are a whole range of methods and approaches. While some methods concentrate on competition, there’s increasing interest in the use of scentwork and nose games within behaviour modification programmes.
We’ll refresh your knowledge of basic scentwork approaches and their effects on the canine brain. Then using a mixture of case studies and video we will explore how scentwork can play a key role in behaviour modification for a range of commonly presenting problems in dogs including fear, frustration and more.

Presented By Jean Donaldson, originally broadcast on 20/08/2020

Is there such a thing as over-socialization? What is “arousal” and is it a useful term? Should we strive to reduce or eliminate errors when dogs are learning? How should we curate and monitor play opportunities for puppies, and for dogs?

In most jurisdictions, dog training and behavior counseling are unregulated, and where they are regulated, there is usually not a mandate for evidence-based practice. This has resulted in fertile ground for fads to take hold. This webinar will look at how research on cognitive biases makes dog behavior practitioners susceptible to untested or demonstrably untrue ideas and practices.

Scentwork has taken off across the world as a fun activity to share with your dog, and there are a whole range of methods and approaches. While some methods concentrate on competition, there’s increasing interest in the use of scentwork and nose games within behaviour modification programmes.
We’ll refresh your knowledge of basic scentwork approaches and their effects on the canine brain. Then using a mixture of case studies and video we will explore how scentwork can play a key role in behaviour modification for a range of commonly presenting problems in dogs including fear, frustration and more.

Presented By Jean Donaldson, originally broadcast on 20/08/2020

Is there such a thing as over-socialization? What is “arousal” and is it a useful term? Should we strive to reduce or eliminate errors when dogs are learning? How should we curate and monitor play opportunities for puppies, and for dogs?

In most jurisdictions, dog training and behavior counseling are unregulated, and where they are regulated, there is usually not a mandate for evidence-based practice. This has resulted in fertile ground for fads to take hold. This webinar will look at how research on cognitive biases makes dog behavior practitioners susceptible to untested or demonstrably untrue ideas and practices.
