Have you tried unsuccessfully to train your dogs? Are you frustrated by the lack of progress? If so, you are not alone. Luckily, there is hope.
Animal welfare professionals are just scratching the surface of what we understand about canine cognition. As we learn more and more about how dogs think and perceive the world, we are also discovering new ways to better communicate with and motivate them. In this episode, we will learn all about Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) for dogs--an innovative approach to training and bonding that considers our dogs as individuals and helps us discover what our they really want and need. More importantly, CBT teaches humans how to encourage good behavior, build our dogs' confidence and problem-solving skills, and ensure that we all cohabitate beautifully.
Billie Groom--an expert in canine CBT--has improved the lives of thousands of shelter dogs and families and shares her insights with all of us. Find out if this methodology--which is particularly effective for dogs for whom positive reinforcement training has not worked--is right for you and your dog. *Note CBT is non-aversive (meaning it does not cause stress, pain, or fear) and is only applicable to dogs over 6 months of age.
