Dog Behavior Seminars
The always
popular, 'Ask
The Trainer'
sessions are informal talks
that provide dog owners the opportunity to ask specific
questions about issues they're having with their dogs.
"My dog
is dominant (submissive, afraid, etc). There's nothing I can
do about it. Is there?" This talk will give you a
better understanding of dog
behavior and body language
so that you can communicate more clearly with your dog.
Are you concerned
that your dog might be getting too rough with his pals at the
dog park?
Learn how to read your dog's behavior; when and how
to interrupt 'over the top' play; and what to do
if a fight breaks out.
How long can
my dog be left alone at home? How can I stop him from being
destructive? When is it
separation
anxiety? Does my dog
need Prozac? Learn about some strategies to lessen your dog's
stress that many of my clients have found very helpful.
What To Do With
A Puppy! Have you read too many books and
are now totally confused? I will outline your puppy's first
four months of development and what you should
be doing now in order to have a well-behaved adult dog later.
Don't miss this window of opportunity!
Does your
dog lunge aggressively
at other dogs
when you go for a walk? Are you embarrassed by your dog's behavior?
Are you not taking your dog for as many walks because of this?
Explore how and why your dog does this and what you can
do to change it.
Dogs, Kids, Babies,
Oh MY! Feeling
overwhelmed? Don't be! Whether you're preparing for your first
family dog or already have one and are expecting your first
baby, this seminar will help to calm your nerves. A smooth
transition is possible when you're well informed.
Do the July
4th fireworks
send your
dog into a tizzy?
Do Thunderstorms
cause him to shake? drool? bark incessantly? pace
frantically? Does your dog run for cover?
Perhaps to hide in the bathroom? Join me for this
talk to learn
how you
can change
your dog's perspective on the weather while reducing the stress
you experience because of this.
Coolidge Corner Shops Lecture Series
2008, What To Expect From A Dog Behavior
Consultation
Can my dog's
behavior problem be fixed? What does it involve? How much
time does it take? Will I be able to do it myself? Does my
dog need Prozac? These and more questions will be answered.
2006, An Overview of Dog Training
A look at the history of dog training
and the trend towards 'positive only' methods. Is it just politically correct? A great marketing slogan? Is
it possible to have a well-trained dog without using collars
that pinch, choke or shock your dog? Or is their merit to the
traditional dog training view that 'your dog needs to know who's
alpha'? Is there a middle ground?
