Aggression refers to a complex,
multi-dimensional set of behaviors. Dogs behave aggressively for
countless reasons, sometimes the behavior can be labeled as abnormal or
pathological but, in other forms, the behavior may be socially adaptive
and perfectly appropriate to a dog. so, not surprising, our attempts to
deal with aggressive behavior can meet with widely inconsistent results.
This seminar makes no promises of simple explanations, easy answers, or
guaranteed results. don't be deceived by such claims--if we're going to
advance our understanding of canine aggression, then we have to face up
to its intricacies. Denver, CO. (5 DVD's) |

Cats pose a unique challenge to shelters.
Most cats find the shelter environment, with restrictive confinement and
exposure to unfamiliar animals and people, extremely stressful. During
this presentation, we review indicators of stress and learn how various
forms of enrichment can aid in reducing stress. We cover the limited
information available on evaluating feline temperament for decisions
regarding suitability for adoption and selecting appropriate placement.
Evaluations sometimes reveal problematic behavior -- behavior
modification and management can improve or even resolve certain issues
in the shelter environment. The techniques of positive reinforcement,
desensitization, and counter conditioning are demonstrated in the
context of shelter cases. Denver, CO |
