Instructors: Drs. Suzanne Hetts and Daniel Q. Estep, CAABs
Do you:
- Think that prey drive and pack drive really explain
dog behavior?
- Think that behavior problems are caused by dominance
issues with owners?
- Want to know how concepts such as social facilitation,
agonistic behavior and territoriality can help you deal
with dogs?
Then this course is for you!
In this five week course, you'll learn what the science
of ethology (animal behavior) can tell us about dog behavior.
We'll address misunderstood and confusing topics such as
genetic effects on behavior, drive theory and social dominance.
We'll cover canine communication in depth, so you'll 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 what our previous students have said about the
course:
"Wanted you to know how much I'm enjoying the [Shining
the Light of Science on Canine Behavior] telecourse--the
body posture video is fantastic, by the by."
Francine
L.
"I think this type of class format is really cool. It
provides easy access to solid behavioral information. Suzanne
is exceptional at answering questions. Class members
come away with a better understanding of how to explain
things to their own clients."

This is a great course for trainers preparing for CCPDT
certification, veterinary technicians preparing for
AVBT certification ,
or any pet professional who wants to expand his/her knowledge
