Webinar Description
Understanding why behavior is happening is critical to preventing or addressing unwanted behaviors. But, behavior is complicated. The same behavior could have multiple different causes in the same individual. And one dog’s “why” can be very different from another dog’s “why”. This month’s webinar summarizes a perspective-changing paper on how emotion and arousal interact with a dog’s personality to produce behavior. It will bring you one step closer to understanding the complex factors that produce behavior—and provide you with additional tools to apply to behavior cases, especially when the typical approaches aren’t working.
