David Ryan Seminar 13 October, Guildford

The Holistic Nature of Canine Behaviour and Training Problems

Greyfriars Rehabilitation and Hydrotherapy Centre, Greyfriars Farm Veterinary Centre, Hogs Back, Guildford, Surrey, GU3 1AG, 13th October 2012

Exploring the nature of dogs, how they maintain emotional balance, why they fall into problem behaviours and the principles behind some simple solutions.

Behaviour and training problems are often directly linked to the expression of normal behaviour patterns of the domestic dog, but what is “normal” domestic dog behaviour?

This one day seminar explores the true nature of dogs, how their inherited patterns of behaviour contribute directly to their ability to cope with modern life, why training and behaviour problems develop and the principles that can be applied to change those behaviours for the benefit of dog and owner alike. Including case studies, anecdotes and the opportunity for audience discussion.

Dogs are not little people in fur coats nor are they wolves in disguise. Canine behaviour can be complex and the reasons for the ways that dogs behave can be difficult to unravel sometimes. They have a completely different perspective on the world to us and therefore a different way of relating to it. Their seeing, hearing, scenting, tasting and feeling senses are all set up differently to us, as is their brain. This seminar will include case studies, stories and audience discussion. It will look at the reality of normal behaviour patterns in dogs and how these inherited patterns contribute to the way they cope with living with humans and other species, why behavioural problems develop and what can be done to change these behaviours.

Also like other disciplines, the depth of study and practice is integral to the understanding.

I wonder if I might get to that one? Hmmm, will have to think about it and see if I can organise dog sitter and lift..
