Telecourses: Canine Aggression To Non-Family Members

Instructors: Drs. Suzanne Hetts and Daniel Q. Estep, CAABs

No other canine behavior problem causes so much concern or attracts so much public attention as aggression to people. Communities struggle with how to keep people safe and at the same time allow dog owners to have their pets. Lawsuits are often brought by people injured by dogs and people with aggressive dogs want and need help to make their dogs safer.

This two-session telecourse will examine the causes for aggression to non-family members and how to identify them. It will also address the evaluation of risk of keeping an aggressive dog as well as treatments for the problem including “growl classes.”

This class will be valuable for any animal professional who deals with potentially aggressive animals including veterinarians, veterinary technicians and other veterinary staff members, dog trainers, behavior consultants, shelter and rescue workers, groomers, pet sitters, pet day care providers and boarding facility workers. Whether or not you work with aggression problems in your business this course will be valuable in helping you understand the nature of aggressive dogs and how to be safe around aggressive dogs.

When you register for the class you will receive information about how to submit examples and questions regarding dogs you have worked with for possible discussion in class. We’ll be using our new presentation format which will be webinar-like, allowing you to view PowerPoint slides on your computer screen during class.

The course comes with class notes and recommended readings. You will receive a link via email a couple of days before class. You can download the notes with the password provided in the email.
