Ethological Contributions to “Behavior Problems” in Dogs – Kim Brophey


Ethically and effectively working cases as a canine behavior professional requires us to perform both
initial and ongoing comprehensive analysis of all contributing elements to a dog’s behaviour. The second part of this webinar will take a deep dive into the ten genetic working groups of dogs, exploring their original historical purpose and the resulting selective forces on behaviour for specialised perceptions and responses in various conditions. We examine how many of the erroneously labelled ‘behaviour problems’ commonly observed in pet dogs are the natural consequence of the friction created by modern conditions – the preservation of genetic keys (niches) that no longer fit the environmental locks (habitats) in which they find themselves. Through a greater understanding of the behaviours for which the various working groups were designed, we appreciate how readily these artificially selected patterns manifest problematically in the average pet dog lifestyle, and how paramount certain adjustments to our expectations and common practices of stewardship need to be in our profession and culture.

ACE for Adolescents Webinar – Sarah Fisher

Presented by Sarah Fisher

 

Sunday 10th December @ 7pm (GMT)

Cost £15.00

(Free for ICB Members)

 

About this webinar

Sarah is passionate about supporting dogs of all ages but adolescence is her favourite age group. It isn’t just people that benefit from a support bubble in times of need, dogs need them too.

Adolescent dogs are more likely to be surrendered or abandoned, but with greater understanding, and building quiet connections at a pace to suit each individual dog, we can support the maturing dog at a time when he is probably at his most vulnerable.

Many adolescent dogs become body sensitive around the five month mark. Body sensitivity, coupled with the natural biological process of the adolescent period, can lead to misunderstanding and confusion which in turn creates conflict and can break down the relationship between the adolescent dog and the guardian(s).

Should we really be intensifying/accelerating socialisation and training as many suggest, or should we be focusing on refining a more flexible strategy to support dogs, and their guardians through this wonderful (but sometimes challenging) phase?

Instead of thinking about what we should teach adolescent dogs, let’s consider what we can learn from them.

This presentation will explore the magnificent adolescent phase and will also include:

  • Identifying the right decompressors for the individual dog
  • Creating a support bubble for adolescent dogs
  • Minimising frustration by paying attention to our own behaviour
  • Modifying games
  • Giving adolescent dogs choice, and a voice
  • Establishing a body contact contract
  • Building calm foundations within a frame work of ACE Free Work

Slow Thinking: Why It’s Important & How To Teach It webinar

Presented by Laura Donaldson

 

Webinar Recording Cost £15.00

(Free for ICB Members)

 

About this webinar

There is intense discussion these days about transforming dog training through innovative approaches for old and often very persistent canine behavior issues. The Slow Thinking is Lifesaving for Dogs® programme has been an important part of this paradigm shift. While Laura originally developed this program for dogs struggling with aggressive behaviour, she quickly noticed that it helped significantly with other behaviour issues. It is also a great foundation for puppies and young dogs because this programme is all about helping dogs develop effective coping strategies enabling them to self-regulate and THINK when they become aroused or stressed, rather than rehearsing the all-too-familiar barking, lunging, growling and even biting. ICB invites you to take a deep dive with Laura into how our dogs can learn to slow down cognitively, emotionally and behaviourally. This online seminar highlights the importance of effective information processing to slow thinking and particularly focuses on the information processing systems known as perception and neuroception. Viewers will gain knowledge about:

  1. The relevance of an information processing model for canine behavioural issues.
  2. Why and how a balance between “top-down” cognition-based perception and “bottom-up” body-based neuroception is critical to developing the capacity for slow thinking.
  3. Why social processing is just as important as social engagement and what happens when we pressure dogs for social engagement before they are ready.
  4. Practical strategies for helping their own or clients’ learn slow thinking and social processing skills

Emotional Regulation in Dogs webinar

Presented by Emma Lee

 

Recording Cost £15.00

(Free for ICB Members)

 

About this webinar

In this webinar Emma Lee discusses:

  • The dog as a social and cognitive being: why regulation is important in social relationships, in forming attachments, in learning how to interact positively and productively with others, in making friends and in forming effective relationships
     
  • Regulation is taught not caught: the developmental processes of regulatory skills in puppyhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age
     
  • Development of different regulatory skills in dogs: cognitive processing, coping strategies for frustration, managing stress, coping skills, focus, resilience, tenacity and perseverance
     
  • Dysregulation: the problems that may occur when dogs struggle to manage their emotions from frustration to anxiety and aggression
     
  • Regulation is not a synonym for manners: why self- and co-regulation are more than just learning to be still or calm
     
  • Co-regulation: the importance of social support in canine development
