Description

Whether you are a canine professional or a dog "owner", learning about your dog's emotions is fascinating and life changing Emotions Affect Behavior. Why? Neurochemicals get the body ready to make behaviors happen so we can read them. Have you ever wondered why or how? Why are some dogs reactive and others are not? Are all aggression cases the same? How come we bond easily with some dogs but not so easily with others? Is a dog's love really unconditional? What is the magical connection that dogs have and do we have it, too? What happens in the brain during stress or during bonding, and why should we know about this? Your presenters, Scott Stauffer and Alyssa Leigh Giles have made it their mission to educate canine professionals and doggie parents about the emotional canine brain. How can we ever truly understand "man's best friend", if we don't take into account all that is happening? Not only the observable behaviors, but the brain that directs these behaviors. No, we can't literally look into a dog's brain, but science has given us the tools to look at canine behaviors, whether it is reactivity and aggression, play and excitement, or even aloofness and bonding from a different perspective ... the dog's perspective. Please join us for our 3-day event to learn how you can better help your client's dog or your own.
