Here's what attendees had to say:
"Presented information I've not seen at other aggression seminars."
"The video clips were excellent teaching tools
as were the actual dog demonstrations."
"I
loved your enthusiasm (both of you). You both so
clearly respect and have affection for animals and
us as students."
With breed bans gaining popularity, shelters and rescue groups
wondering what “temperament test” to use, veterinary
staff dreading to see certain patients on the appointment
log, and dog owners being told the importance of “being
alpha”, it’s no wonder that confusion is rampant
in identifying high risk dogs, creating effective public policies,
and preventing and resolving aggression problems. This workshop
will:
- Explain the dangers of and misunderstandings surrounding
“dominance”
- Discuss what constitutes normal and “abnormal”
canine social behaviors
- Discuss the differences between “temperament tests”
and behavior evaluations and the difficulties inherent in
both
- Provide practice in observing and interpreting canine
communicative behavior in order to conduct a useful behavior
evaluation
- Aid participants in developing placement and risk assessment
criteria
- Discuss and demonstrate behavior modification techniques
for changing aggressive behaviors, and based on risk assessment
and behavior evaluations, when such techniques could be
considered.

“This workshop makes no promises of simple explanations, easy
answers, or guaranteed results. Don’t be deceived by such claims
– if we’re going to advance our understanding of canine
aggression, then we have to face up to its intricacies.”*
