Main description:

Fearful, aggressive, unruly, or just too rambunctious - does this describe your dog? In this live-recorded three-hour seminar, veterinarian and applied animal behaviorist, Dr Sophia Yin, presents a comprehensive plan for helping fearful, aggressive or reactive dogs overcome their behavioral problems. You'll see a number of different desensitization and counter-conditioning techniques and learn when to use each one, how to identify all sources of fear and impulsivity that can hinder progress, and more.

You may know many techniques for dealing with your reactive or aggressive dog, but with many dogs, to get the results you want, you need a clear step-by-step plan. First you need to realize that every interaction is a training session, so what you do outside official sessions may undermine your progress. Second, for fast and enduring results it's often essential to improve the dog's impulse and emotional control. Third, your training will require good technique and an integrative approach and should focus on creating a dog who is happy, focused, and calm.

It includes the following two presentations: `Teaching Fido to Learn to Earn: Dr Yin's Program for Developing Leadership Skills in Humans and Impulse Control in Dogs' and `An Integrative Approach to Dealing with Your Fearful, Reactive, or Aggressive Dog'.

This DVD is a perfect resource for vets, veterinary technicians, students, animal shelter staff, rescue volunteers, dog trainers, and dog owners.
