Meeting Time: Thursdays at 5:00 pm (EST), beginning January 9

This eight-week mentorship focuses on some of the most complex, yet common behavioral problems in dogs that prompt guardians to seek help from behaviorists and consultants. Based on the personal case files of a Certified Animal Behaviorist (CAAB) who has seen 1,000’s of canine behavioral cases spanning multiple decades, these common problem areas include:

-Human-directed aggression (both towards strangers and familiar people) -Leash reactivity and aggression -Fears, phobias, and anxieties (including separation anxiety) -Conflict in multi-dog households -Veterinary visits, unruly behaviors, and abnormal repetitive behaviors

You will gain insight into the ethology and etiology of these conditions through lectures and readings and learn creative ways for addressing these problem behaviors in dogs.
