WEBINARS FOR BEHAVIOURISTS
Dogs are constantly learning from the consequences of their behaviour - whether we intend to teach them or not. This webinar explores the concept of inadvertent learning, examining how everyday interactions can strengthen unwanted behaviours and how behaviour professionals can identify, prevent and address these patterns to improve client outcomes.
Reactivity is one of the most common reasons behaviour professionals are consulted, yet no two cases are the same. This webinar examines the underlying motivations behind reactive behaviour and discusses assessment, management and behaviour modification strategies that prioritise welfare while helping clients achieve realistic, long-term progress.
Pain is an often-overlooked contributor to behaviour change and can have a profound impact on a dog's emotional state, learning and responses to the environment. This webinar explores the relationship between pain and behaviour, helping practitioners recognise potential indicators and understand how to incorporate pain considerations into their behavioural assessments and recommendations.
The loss of a beloved pet can be an intensely emotional experience, and behaviour professionals are often in a unique position to support clients through this difficult time. This webinar explores the impact of pet bereavement, common grief responses and compassionate communication strategies, equipping practitioners to provide appropriate support while maintaining professional boundaries.
Fireworks season presents significant welfare challenges for many dogs and their caregivers. This webinar explores the behavioural and emotional impacts of noise sensitivities, evidence-based management strategies and practical behaviour modification techniques to help practitioners support fearful dogs with confidence. A bonus video on the use of botanicals for addressing fireworks fears is included, presented by animal herbalist Rachael Maxwell.
Resource guarding is a normal canine behaviour that can become problematic when it compromises safety or quality of life. This two-part webinar explores the emotional drivers behind guarding behaviour, common misconceptions and practical, welfare-focused intervention strategies to help behaviourists create effective and ethical treatment plans.
Physical health and nutrition play a fundamental role in behaviour, wellbeing and learning. This webinar examines the links between diet, health and behaviour, providing behaviour professionals with a greater understanding of the factors that may influence their cases and the importance of a collaborative, multidisciplinary approach to client support.
