Common Behaviour Problems Seminar

Common Behavior Problems

This seminar will talk about how behavior problems are the #1 cause of surrender among dog owners.

Understanding why a behavior occurs will teach us how to prevent it from happening or recurring. If an inappropriate behavior is not replaced with a more appropriate behavior, the inappropriate behavior is continually reinforced and becomes a bigger problem.

Other topics covered:

• Most common behavior problems and their causes.
• How to properly correct behavior problems.
• What the 4 emotional needs of your dog are.
• Diet and the effect on behavior.
• The 3 R’s to behavior modification.
• The Importance of proper socialization.
• What to do if a problem arises.
• What to do when a problem arises.
