Everyone who loves dogs wants to do right by their dog, to provide them with a “happy life.” But what constitutes a happy life? What is enough? What is too much? What is not enough? What size world is right for this dog?

Dogs exist in a complex web of relationships and environment, expectations and abilities. As an individual, each dog is unique in his capacity for adapting to life with humans, in sensory processing and sensitivities, and in the nuances of temperament and personality.

We are always seeking the Goldilocks Effect: we want it to be just right. But even professionals can struggle to find that “just right” balance for any specific dog. It can be challenging to know what technique or equipment or methodology are right for an individual dog.

We’ll cover:

  • Temperament & Experience
  • Hopes & Dreams
  • Assessing Functional Behavior
  • Realistic Placements
  • The Endure/Enjoy Scale
  • 
Monitoring progress


This webinar provides an overview of the many practical ways to ask the dog: “What size world is right for you?”

It turns out that the dog himself can provide the answers, if we know what to look for, and how to place it in the proper context. Join us to find out how Suzanne’s compassionate and holistic approach to defining the “right size world” will change your training, assessments and placements.
