It is estimated that anywhere from one-third to two-thirds of dogs have noise aversions!  If you saw 12 dogs in your practice each day, 4 to 8 of them are likely to develop noise sensitivities in their lifetime. Not only can a fear of sounds be physiologically and emotionally damaging for dogs, but it can also strain the human-animal relationship. This session will provide you with strategies for how to approach and prevent sound sensitivities, including teaching desired coping skills.

The webinar will be recorded, so that you can watch at any time convenient for you.

Fra snute til hale: Hva, hvorfor og hvordan undersøke egen hund.

Vil du bli en bedre beskytter for hunden din? Flinkere til å se når hen ikke har det bra? Lettere kunne vurdere om du bør komme deg til veterinæren, eller bør avvente. Eller lære mer om når og hvordan du selv kan gjøre det som trengs for å hjelpe hunden din? Dette med mer snakker veterinær Cathrine Winblad om i dette superbra webinaret!

Det finnes mange eksempler på virkelig gode hundetrenere som ikke kan teori i det hele tatt, og også mange eksempler på de som kan mye teori, men som ikke lykkes særlig godt med selve hundetreningen. Teori kan være en fin «snarvei» til ferdigheter. Hvis vi bruker eksisterende kunnskap, slipper vi å gjenta alle feilene andre har gjort før oss og kan dermed starte med flere tiår med erfaring. Men det er ikke nok å ha kunnskapen. I tillegg til å kunne teorien, må vi få den «ut i hendene» og faktisk bruke den.

Pernilla pratar om bakomliggande faktorer till prestationsångest och tävlingsnerver, och du får konkreta tips om hur du kan må bättre inför en prestation som t.ex. en tävling. Hur du hittar den optimala anspänningen, det vill säga lagom mängd tävlingsnerver som hjälper dig att prestera ditt bästa och så får du lära känna din egen självkänsla. Hon pratar också om olika metoder för att formulera mål som tar dig från dagsform till drömform. Föreläsningen utgår från hundträning men berör livet i stort.

En föreläsning som djupdyker i människans mentala funktioner och presenterar övergripande förhållningssätt och fler än tio konkreta handlingar för att förbättra prestation och känsla. "I skarpt läge" är en fortsättning som bygger vidare på föreläsningen "Prestationsångest, Nerver och hur du når dina mål", men det går också att lyssna till den fristående.

Skarpt läge – konkreta strategier vid prestationssituationer

En föreläsning som djupdyker i människans mentala funktioner och presenterar övergripande förhållningssätt och fler än tio konkreta handlingar för att förbättra prestation och känsla. "I skarpt läge" är en fortsättning som bygger vidare på föreläsningen "Prestationsångest. I skarpt läge djupdyker ännu mer i hur du kan gå ut i en prestationssituation, som exempelvis en tävling, och prestera minst lika bra som på träning tillsammans med din hund och där begrepp som tävlingsnerver blir något som hjälper istället för stjälper.

Something - as Positive Reinforcement based dog/animal trainers - we can sometimes find challenging is processing both our emotions & thought processes when we see others using aversives.
Consequently, this live event will offer Ryan Cartlidge’s contributions to this challenge - based on his experience practically applying the tools from ‘crucial conversations’ over the last decade.

Watch this webinar with Laura Monaco Torelli to learn simple strategies to help craft a care team collaboration. Initial tips and valuable considerations will be discussed and demonstrated. All within the scope of what we can do proactively as pet owners’ framed into positive day-to-day interactions.

Our second webinar with Laura. I recommend you to watch the first one first.
How do we support the average pet owner to ensure their comfort level? It can be overwhelming to hear the need to administer allergy shots (per veterinary direction), ear drops, or place a basket muzzle on their canine companion.How can we arrange the teaching environment so it includes empathy, education, and empowerment for those that collaborate in our pets’ care? Join Laura to learn more about how she integrates exotic animal experience into a curriculum for her client teams that support comfort level coupled with skill level.

Shaping is not a training in which your dog has to “figure out what to do”! 
An important part of shaping is to gradually build the behavior. Shaping should be errorless! Each step should lead to the desired behavior. This requires prior setting and analysis of the necessary premises. Agnieszka will explain it with simple examples and everything is shown in tutorials, so you will understand it quickly!

In this presentation Jesús Rosales-Ruiz shows an experimental analysis of the Poisoned Cue, and techniques to identify situations that might involve Poisoned Cues. It also discusses ways to overcome these cues.

In this webinar we re-imagine how we raise our dogs with an emphasis on choice and autonomy. Drawing from invaluable lessons learned from free living dogs around the world, we discuss the basis of our expectations around dogs.

I dette webinaret fokuserer Astrid på hvordan vi trener fram en hund som engasjerer seg i den aktiviteten vi bestemmer når vi bestemmer det. Hun tar for seg både hvordan vi som eiere og førere må legge opp treningen for å få en slik hund, hvordan vi lærer hunden det når den er valp, hvordan vi jobber med det under unghundsperioden og hvilke krav vi kan sette til den voksne hunden. Alle eksemplene vil være relatert til trening av stående eller støtende fuglehunder, men temaet er aktuelt for alle typer hunder og sporter.

I dette webinaret fokuserer Astrid Weider Ellefsen på hvorfor det er viktig å bruke eksterne belønninger når vi trener fram fuglehunder, og hvordan vi lærer hunden at alt det den har lyst på ute i jaktterrenget er tilgjengelig gjennom føreren.

En blygerhund är en hund som är osäker. Allt från lite försiktig till riktigt rädd. Den kan reagera med att vilja fly, att vilja skrämmas, att bli lamslagen eller kanske att vilja fjäska för den som skrämmer. Den kan ha en specifik rädsla eller flera generella. Föreläsningen passar för dig som har en sådan hund, men  den passar även för dig som har en orädd hund eftersom så mycket av arbetet vi kan göra är förebyggande, och bör göras inte minst med valpar och unghundar.

"Functional anatomy" sounds very dry and rather daunting at first. But what lies behind it is enormously important for dog owners, trainers and physiotherapists alike.

This webinar deals with the dog's body structure and the associated structural strengths and weaknesses. Knowing these is immensely important for any activity with a dog, because this explains, for example, the supposed stubbornness in trick training, the pole throwing in agility or the reluctance to retrieve balls on the walk. What's more: if you know about your dog's physical weaknesses, you can specifically prevent signs of wear and tear such as arthrosis. With the help of many photos and videos, a wide variety of dogs are examined from front to back, bringing a lot of colour into this rather theoretical topic. Ideal for anyone who wants to take a closer look at the physique of dogs.

Scared from the beginning – which is inheritance, which is environment? What to do as an owner, when your dog is stressed and anxious from the moment you get it home? A perspective on the ability to learn when stressed and anxious with the focus of the breed, the role the breeder plays and tips to how to help you as an owner how to assist your dog to cope.

The art of delivering instructions – Introduction to the TAGteach tools for teaching the human!
We study endlessly on how best to communicate with our animal learners, but what about our human learners?
There is a real art to delivering information to a human, especially in the moments before they are asked to act upon your instructions. We’ll look at two TAGteach tools: the Focus Funnel and WOOF that will help you create crystal clear instructions while simultaneously decreasing stress and in the human learning environment.

Mary Hunter explains what makes the constructional approach unique and walk you through a four-step planning process that will help you focus on what behaviors you want to teach, rather than reducing or eliminating behavior. 

Conventional training protocols stifle the dog’s natural predatory behaviors through punishing or constantly forcing them to return. These restrictive protocols work against the dog’s nature and against what they want most: to go for a hunt!

Predation Substitute Training (PST) is a motivation-based and need-oriented training program, designed to stop uncontrolled predatory chasing and to provide safe outlets for our dog’s natural drive.

Training in 3-D is about balancing the manipulation of Distance, Duration and Distraction as a part of gaining full fluency and stimulus control.

Raising the BaR® with Steve White

Regardless of skill set, this seminar is about taking your training to the next level . . . whether you you’re
pet owner who just wants an easy-to-live-with dog, a gold medal sport competitor, or an operational

It may come as no surprise that working with adolescent dogs has its own challenges.  But have you ever thought about what may be happening at the neurobiological level and why these behavior patterns happen the way they do?  This presentation will look at what we think we know about what's happening in the brain during this developmental period, as well as how knowing this information can shape our training plans and our overall understanding of how to navigate this period successfully.  

Barb Buchmayer, author of the book "Positive Herding 101: Dog-Friendly Training." will in this webinar lead us in to the world of positive herding. Barb has pioneered a method for training herding dogs without the use of aversive tools, and in this webinar she will tell us more about it.

Challenging behaviour in animals can range from inconvenient to embarrassing to exasperating - to the people who have to live with them. To the animals involved, those behaviours are often not problematic at all, but rather a solution to a problem that they're experiencing - and our task is often to help the animal find another solution that's less annoying to us - or to remove the animal's problem altogether.

This webinar will provide a framework for how to approach behavioural challenges.

There are many ways to train your dog, and it has been obvious to most that you can train tracking and obedience with clicker training in the working dog programs. But when we come to what is most often referred to as "defense work", there are many who believe it is not a training method that is relevant.

When learning about how to address reactivity, most people focus on training around the triggers and reactions. While this is one important step, there are so many other parts of a dog's life that can impact their reactive behavior. This webinar will go into detail about how taking a big picture approach and focusing on all aspects of a dog's life can improve their reactive behavior and make more progress than if you only focus on the training around triggers.

Zofia does not use treat or food in her work with aggressive dogs, and in this webinar she will showcase her expertise in canine behavior by presenting films directly from her work with dogs. Participants can expect to witness real-life examples of her innovative approach, "In a Dialogue with the Dog," as she addresses aggression issues in dogs towards people. Zofia's unique method emphasizes the importance of understanding and responding to a dog's body language to help them cope with stress and fear, ultimately fostering a sense of comfort in social situations with other dogs. Notably, Zofia's approach sets her apart, as she avoids the use of treats or snacks during dog therapy to ensure a pure and unfiltered connection with the dogs she works with.

The Why’s? Why should we consider scentwork with our dogs?

Når man som hundeejer står foran reolerne i hundefoderbutikken og skal vælge det rette foder til sin hund, kan det nemt føles som at stå i en jungle. Der findes et hav af forskellige hundefodertyper. Fra tørt til vådt, fra tilberedt til råt, fra fuldfoder til tillægsfoder – der findes med garanti noget til (næsten) enhver smag! Endnu større føles sortimentet af snacks, godbidder og diverse tilskudsprodukter. Men hvad skal man vælge til netop sin hund – og vigtigst af alt: hvorfor? 

Dette webinar er en introduktion til ernæring af hunde med hovedfokus på forskellen mellem de forskellige slags foder. Jeg vil også komme ind på, hvad man skal være opmærksom på, når ens hund får mange godbidder og/eller snacks, f.eks. i forbindelse med træning, og hvorfor det ikke altid er en god idé at give sin hund kosttilskud.
