Telecourses: Shining the Light of Science on Canine Behavior

 

Instructors: Dr. Dan Estep, and/or Dr. Suzanne Hetts.

This five week telecourse is suitable for any animal professional* as well as the insatiable-for-knowledge (inquisitive) dog owner. The course will apply the science of ethology to dog behavior, and address confusing and often misunderstood topics such as drives, dominance, genetic effects on behavior, and many more. Canine communication will be covered in depth. You will be better able to interpret what the dogs you work with are telling you, to understand the “why” of dog behavior, to handle dogs more safely and humanely, and to recognize how significantly your behavior affects your dog’s. This course will get you away from “pop” dog psychology misinformation, help you become an educated consumer of information about dogs, and help you better communicate with the dogs in your life. This is a great course for trainers preparing for CCPDT certification.

The fifth and final week of this course will be a discussion group. This is a great opportunity to review, clarify and ask additional questions about the material covered in the previous four weeks. Participants are encouraged to prepare examples from their own work for the discussion week.

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.

Our Canine Body Posture video is another valuable tool to help understand and interpret canine behavior. As a special bonus to telecourse participants, we are offering the video at a reduced price of $35.95. Click here to view a description of the video. Video content will be covered in Week 3 of the Telecourse.

This course (with the discussion group) has been approved for 5 CEU hours from CCPDT and CACVT. You must attend either the teleclass or webcast LIVE to be eligible for CEUs. You cannot receive CEUs for listening to the replays
