SATURDAY - DAY 1: Problem Recognition -- Canine Body Language (Arousal to Aggression) with SARAH KALNAJS
We will observe a number of video case studies of canine behavior problems. Sarah will present each case on day one with an overview of some of the body language cues highlighted in each instance. Among the cases will be:
Aggression in Puppies (two or three cases:
one concerning fear, one general aggression and one resource guarding)
Intraspecific Aggression (Dog - Dog)
The aroused aggressive dog (to people and other animals)
Resource Guarding (multiple cases)
Barrier frustration (invisible fences and leash reactivity)
The fearful / anxious dog (showing timidity at a dog park)
SUNDAY - DAY 2: Problem Resolution
with PAT MILLER
Pat will show a "reminder" 30 second clip of each case on day two to reintroduce the cases presented on day one and talk about whether behavior modification would be appropriate in each case and, if so, an overview of what she would do for modification. Pat will then detail behavior modification (or management) protocols as they apply to each of these cases Pat will be emphasizing her positive reinforcement methods in the course of this analysis. Among Pat's techniques:
Counter conditioning and desensitization;
Operant conditioning;
Constructional Aggression Treatment (CAT) as studied and developed by Dr. Jesus
Rosales-Ruiz and Kellie Snider;
Shaping; Identification and elimination of stressors;
Building confidence and teaching coping skills.
