Determining your dogs trigger tendencies - VAKO. Distance, duration and toast turning brown. Suzanne does an amazing job at breaking down scenarios and making a plan for them. She is also humble enough to say when she just doesn't have an answer for something which is what I appreciate the most. Her heart and her passion are with the animals which makes the deliver of her material so compelling. I once worked for a charter school and their unwritten motto was " if it's not good for kids, it won't happen here". Suzanne takes the same stance and I love it.

If you’ve ever wished for a PAUSE button on life to help your dog, this webinar is for you.

Handlers of reactive dogs struggle to find ways to help their dogs feel less worried, overwhelmed or pushed past their thresholds. But progress can be slow, particularly if the dog continues to be triggered despite the handler’s best efforts.

 

As a behavior consultant, I work with many handlers who are discouraged or frustrated. In many cases, there are holes in the training plan. Inevitably, the training falls apart, the dog is triggered, the handler is embarrassed or upset. Why does this happen so often? 

 

This webinar dives into what you need to know to help reactive dogs through carefully controlled set-ups. 

  • Training in the wild? 
  • Pause button or uncontrolled variables?
  • Understanding your dog’s triggers (visual, auditory, kinesthetic, olfactory, social, chase)
  • The holy trinity of dog training: Distance, intensity & duration
  • Using Line of View and Field of View in the real world


The practical information provided will help anyone create successful training moments. Find out why so many clients and their dogs have benefited from this sensible approach to thin slicing for success.
