Train Without Pain
Train With The Brain
And On The Emotional Plane
Living with a dog in your home is not always an easy proposition. Teaching the rules of the household and how to coexist in peaceful cooperation with humans, as well as dogs and animals, is a task for which we often find ourselves unprepared. Traditionally, many dog trainers have emphasized physical punishment, or "corrections," and "dominating your dog" as ways of teaching "who's boss." This prevailing attitude has found its way into much of the popular literature and beliefs about the "correct" way to teach a dog appropriate behavior for living in a human world.
In his seminar Working With Dogs, Terence Cranendonk explains and demonstrates nonviolent training methods that address and nurture the physical, emotional, and mental well being of your canine companion. The seminar offers an alternative to punishment-based programs through the use of positive reinforcement, which is not only more enjoyable for dogs and humans but ultimately safer and more effective.
In an interactive presentation, Terence shows you how to apply some of the latest developments in psychology, learning theory, and understanding of canine behavior, as well as stress management techniques, in training designed for the whole dog.
Topics covered include the basic principles of positive reinforcement, clicker training, dog body language, common misconceptions about dogs, toys and play, socialization with people and dogs, and common behavior problems such as destructive chewing, jumping on people and excessive barking. Through its holistic approach, Working With Dogs helps us to remember and enjoy the reasons we choose to live with dogs: emotional companionship, exercise, assistance with daily tasks, learning and fun.
Dealing With Canine Aggression
Aggressive behavior from your dog--whether towards other people, other dogs, or both--can be a daunting, dangerous, and dispiriting situation. Many people feel helpless when faced with such a dilemma, which they know they must address, but are confused or misinformed about how to do so.
In this seminar, Terence Cranendonk helps people begin to formulate solutions to their dog's aggressive behavior. The seminar covers behavior management techniques and equipment, identifying patterns in aggressive behavior, and principles of counter-conditioning.
Please note: This seminar is for people only--do not bring your dog.
This seminar is in no way intended as a substitute for individual attention to your dog's aggressive behavior from a professional trainer or behavior consultant.
