High arousal gets blamed for a lot of performance problems, but excitement is rarely the whole story. Many dogs are navigating a complex mix of drive, anticipation, and frustration all at once.

In Thinking Under Pressure: Building Confidence and Control in High-Drive Dogs, Jane Ardern looks at what is really going on and how to help. Part of the Arousal Modulation conference on July 11.

Can't join live? The full conference goes into your student library afterward, so you can watch on your own schedule. CEUs: CCPDT (pending) and IAABC (8 credits approved).

Day One Impulse Control and Arousal for Tynewater Dog Training
Lovely breakfast, the weather was good to us, Drift and Carrot had a run in the paddock, I admired the beautiful flowers and had some cake 🍰

Really lovely group of people and dogs today, we looked at Box Training, Reward Specific Markers, Heelwork from an Impulse Control perspective and finished with the flirt pole.

Lovely evening meal and the dogs are crashed out 💤💤💤
