This is the most comprehensive presentation on dealing with
adolescent dogs age 6 months to 2 ½ years that Tawzer Dog has
taped. Trish includes as part of the lecture presentation,
high quality video footage shot as demo footage to compliment
the slides and lecture. She also incorporates live case study
consultations, problem solving and dog demos.
Many people acquire their dogs when they're adolescents ... or
they think they don't have to train them until they're older
.... or they think they remember how to train them themselves!
This session is about those dogs the untrained,
overly-excitable, bullying, suspicious, fearful, or shy
adolescent and how to help owners teach them to be compliant,
happy companions. This seminar
concentrates on practical tips -improving management, developing
a relationship, handling techniques and deciding which exercises
might be most appropriate for those teenage dogs. Most
people hire trainers or get into class because they have an
adolescent. The majority of the dogs surrendered to shelters are
adolescent because they are too hard to handle; too energetic;
too rough or un-trainable. The seminar is broken down for easy
understanding of a particular issue

A dog leaves puppyhood and enters
adolescence at about the age of 5 months and does not leave it
until 2 or 3 years. The most challenging ages is usually between
8 and 18 months. Some dogs pas through this phase with
little trouble, but most drive their owners crazy. During this
phase, it can be hard for owners to see the light at the end of
of the tunnel. Many small behavior problems can become large
ones. Dogs learn to repeat behaviors that are successful
including bullying, fearful, snapping, escaping and mouthing, to
name a few until they become perfect. In this session learn to
recognize potential problem behaviors and problem dogs. Also
discussed is prevention, intervention, and modification methods
used for this group. Taped in Madison, Wisconsin

We all know that for centuries, dogs have
been bred for a variety of different jobs, and that their
responses to training are as varied as their looks. In this
seminar, Trish demonstrates by way of lecture, video footage,
and slides, the behavior of different types of dogs. She
discusses their characteristics and what we need to help them to
do to become good citizens. A
comprehensive analysis is presented on managing and training
Bullies, Herding Dogs, Terriers and Guard Dogs. This is a three
DVD set taped in Novato, Calif April, 2008 |

As we know, many dog lovers are ignorant about
what aggression is and is not. They don't understand that
temperament and early experience can have a strong influence on all dog
behavior, including aggression, and it's our job to help them
differentiate between types and address possible modification
techniques. The earlier we can analyze what is causing the behavior, the
more effective our intervention can be. During this discussion, we
will evaluate video examples of the principal types of aggression, as
well as some subsets. As the session progresses, we can address
behavior modification of individual types. These include: Dominance
aggression; Territorial aggression; Conflict aggression; Excessive
arousal; Predatory behavior; Facilitated aggression; Possession
aggression. Full Day Seminar - January 14, 2007 |

It's getting more and more popular to own more than one dog - some of us have three, four, even five dogs. While this can be
lots of fun, it can also present problems, whether it's choosing the wrong companions, managing them, or training them. Many
bond to each other, and don't care about their owner. Others don't get along with one or more members of the canine pack. In
this workshop, discussion is on choosing wisely, maintaining a friendly pack, training individually and together, and
trouble-shooting problems. - November 2005 - Novato, CA. |

Are some puppies just born bad, or is it all our fault? The debate over nature and nurture has never been settled, and
probably won't be. However, we do know that there are certain behavioral traits that can be selected for, or selected
against. And we do see puppies who show the extremes of behavior. In this workshop, we'll look at puppies - the good and the
bad, and what we can do to help them grow - including socialization and training.

Shelters not only have a mission to house and save animals,
they also
have an obligation to make sure that the animals they place with families
are appropriate for those families. Many dogs seem just fine until they
are asked to do something they don’t want to do, or are put under normal
stress. While there is no “perfect” test, the evaluations we use help to
bring out the dog’s true personality and help the placement process. In
this workshop, we’ll explain and demonstrate each test using shelter dogs.

Leash laws, suburban life, and inadequate socialization can lead to
awkward negotiations between dogs, as they try to figure out how to react
to another. Though we inept human beings can never hope to teach some of
the subtle greeting behaviors that dogs SHOULD know, we can help with some
of the gross motor movement. In this discussion, we talk about what dogs
should be saying to other dogs, and what they are saying , and what owners
can and cannot do about it. Madison, WI, 2004 |

Most trainers come in contact with anxious dogs on a regular basis. There
are various forms, the most well known of which is separation anxiety.

Canine consultants spend a lot of time talking about dog behavior. But to
whom are they speaking, to women, to men, or to children? The advice you
give and how you phrase it have a great deal to do with whether your
clients actually do what you suggest. This presentation focuses on the
difference between the sexes and ages, and tips on successful
recommendations. Madison, WI, November, 2004 |

A full weekend seminar addressing the clichés "Nature vs. Nurture"…and
"It's not the dog, it's the people who own them". Trish covers Deadly
Puppies, Deadly Dogs; Are puppies really learning what we are teaching;
Dog meets dog; Modifying adolescent behavior; Abandonment training;
anxiety; and In Harm's Way. ABOUT PUPPIES…can puppies be bad? Is it only
"bad" people who create "bad" dogs? Or does there seem to be
inherent
temperament issues that are evident in even young puppies. Watch video
footage of different puppies being temperament evaluated, and judge for
yourself. ABOUT DOGS Can you predict whether a dog will become aggressive
in adulthood? If so, how do you do it, and who is qualified? Are certain
breeds more pre-disposed to aggression towards dogs or humans, and can you
pick out the particular dogs in those breeds? Can we play God? Mebane,
