Join Dr. Janet Cutler to discuss and learn about the science behind dog behavior and training. As a dog trainer, behavior consultant, or pet professional, you'll learn evidence-based information so that you have confidence behind the information and methods you use in an effort to improve the welfare of the animals we work with. With over 20 years experience working with animals in a veterinary setting, as a behavior researcher, as a dog trainer and now as a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist, Janet ties that in with her scientific background so that you can understand the science and apply it to your own work with animals. With topics ranging from ethology, animal welfare, body language, the treatment and management of behavior problems, training information, and more, you’ll learn something to improve your work with animals (and their people) every week.

13. Pheromones
Pheromones are often recommended when there are dog and cat behavior problems, however the science is inconclusive on efficacy. Join for information on pheromones, how they work, the different types we use with dogs and cats, and some of the research on their use in noise sensitivity, veterinary settings, separation distress and anxiety, as well as interactions between animals in the home.

12. Clicker training science
Clicker training is based on learning theory, and therefore has a scientific background behind it's use. However, there are several studies that have looked specifically at clicker training in dogs, including how it affects the speed of learning, impulsivity, and more, with interesting results. Learn about the science behind clicker training in dogs in this episode.
