Resource Guarding or Rule Setting – June 1, 2023 – 2pm EST

Learn how to see resource guarding or rule setting from the dog’s perspective, understand the motivation behind the dog’s behavior, and get practical tips on building skills to minimize or eliminate problems.

This webinar focuses on the poorly understood behaviors that we label as “resource guarding.” This topic deserves a clear eyed look at these behaviors, what may be motivating them, how these fit within the context of natural dog behavior, and how to approach working with these behaviors with a more nuanced understanding.

I see important differences between resource guarding and rule setting, an important distinction.

This webinar will cover:

• Resource guarding or rule setting?
• Dog Law 101 – why dogs think we are rude
• The Zones: Ownership, Defense of Possession, Influence, and Response zones.
• Never confirm your dog’s worst fears!
• Management & Training

Learn how to see resource guarding or rule setting from the dog’s perspective, understand the motivation behind the dog’s behavior, and get practical tips on building skills to minimize or eliminate problems.

Maddening to Maturity – June 15, 2023 – 2pm EST.

Do you wonder where your once wonderful puppy went? And why has he turned into a sometimes maddening, unpredictable, maybe even out of control adolescent? Relax — you’re not alone. More than a few puppy class stars have gone on to be champion buttheads as teenagers!

For many dog owners, the 18-24 month period of adolescence is problematic. Even with a great start in puppyhood, many dogs hit adolescence and become frustrating, unruly, and simply maddening in some ways. While puzzling to many owners, this is a natural but poorly understood stage of development.

Did you know that adolescence begins around 20 weeks of age?
That a year old dog is roughly the equivalent of a 14 year human?
That adulthood in the dog begins at 2-4 years of age?
That the most annoying teenage dogs are often geniuses?

The Relationship Centered Training (RCT) approach focuses on three areas of the teenage dog’s life:

• Relationship with handler
• Social life (other people, dogs & animals)
• Life skills (self control, basic manners, coping skills)

This recorded webinar will address:

• The teenage brain – risk, reward and relationships
• The handler’s role as the teenage dog’s guide to life
• Balancing the relationship
• Cooperation as a lifestyle
• Permission and parameters
• “Even though” empathy & expectations
• Potholes, loopholes and missing bricks in the dog’s skill sets

When you understand your adolescent dog better, you can settle into the work and joys of helping them grow into a wonderful adult dog. The kind of adult dog that makes people say, “Oh, I wish I had a dog just like that!” while you smile and wonder if they knew him as a teenager.
