This 6-hour video lecture is approved for 6 Continuing Education Credits (CECs) by the CCPDT, IAABC & NADOI, making it ideal for both professional dog trainers and dedicated dog owners.

• House Soiling: Address and resolve common house training issues.
• Destructive Chewing: Understand the causes and learn how to prevent destructive behaviors.
• Excessive Barking: Tackle excessive vocalization and find effective management strategies.
• Digging: Learn how to stop unwanted digging behaviors.
• Home-Alone Problems & Separation Anxiety: Help your dog cope with being left alone.

This seminar addresses the challenges that arise when adolescent exuberance, distractions, and developing fears interfere with socialization and training. Learn practical strategies for:

• Retraining Shelter Dogs: Increase adoptability by addressing behavioral issues.
• Rehabilitating Adopted Dogs: Help newly adopted adolescent and adult dogs adjust and thrive.

While rehabilitating adult dogs with complex temperament problems (fearfulness, fighting, and biting) can be a lengthy process, this seminar emphasizes that behavior and training problems can often be resolved at any age. Good habits can replace bad habits with consistent training. We'll explore effective techniques, including All-or-None Reward Training, to get you started. Importantly, treatment protocols often mirror prevention protocols, and retraining an adult dog can be faster than training a puppy.

Important Note: This seminar will cover fearfulness and reactivity to other dogs. Due to time constraints, it will not delve into addressing serious aggression problems where a dog has injured a person or another animal.

This seminar is perfect for both dog owners seeking to improve their dog's behavior and dog professionals looking to expand their skillset.
