DOG AGGRESSION - PREVENTION & DE-ESCALATION WORKSHOP

In spite of a booming dog training industry and our genuine attempts as dog parents to do things right and to train our dogs properly, dog bite cases are on the rise. But it doesn't have to be that way.

You can learn how to recognize tension even before your dog exhibits the typical body language that indicates that a bite is imminent. And with a little bit more information, you can learn how to de-escalate a tricky situation.

Please join us for this special Zoom event on May 30 at 11 am MDT.
A recording will be made available to every registered person!

Here is the link for more information and to reserve your spot:

You don't have to be mauled by a dog to know that dog aggression is a serious matter. Please join this event for some interesting insights.

Please do not tell me to keep politics outta dog training?!?!?
If you cannot see it, that’s a choice.

Dogs have ALWAYS been a part of politics!!!

Using horses on protestors.

This is NOT OK!!!

People get upset over the abuse of horses carriage rides, I hope you get upset over what police forces use horses for.

It’s not the first time.

It’s NEVER OK!!!

Dear Dog Guardian,

Do you ever feel like you and your furry friend are on different planets? Like you have tried everything and nothing seems to work? The frustration, the feeling of hopelessness, the regret - especially if you have already worked with a trainer or two; it all can be so overwhelming.

Or maybe this is your first dog and things are a bit more challenging than you thought.

Most trainers know exactly what you are going through. In fact, for many of us, that overwhelming feeling of helplessness was the reason we chose this profession in the first place.

But despite our best efforts, something seems to be missing, not only for our human clients, but for their dogs, too. Traditional training approaches may be good for teaching tasks, but they also tend to suppress a dog emotionally, which causes internal turmoil.

Affective Dog Behavior focuses on keeping things simple for you and your dog - not by avoiding challenges, but by addressing your dog's emotional needs in the face of them. Surprisingly, this isn't as difficult as it may seem. See, instinctively, you would already know how to help your dog feel more secure - if it weren't for modern dog training making things more confusing. The good news is that you can bring your instincts back, and our courses can make that happen with an interesting mix of brain science, practical insights, videos and simple exercises.

What's missing though are step-by-step training instructions, since ADB doesn't promote traditional training.

Our current courses for dog owners are:

🐶 LIVING WITH A REACTIVE DOG
🐶NAVIGATING MULTI-DOG SITUATIONS
🐶LIVING WITH SEPARATION ANXIETY
🐶YOU AND YOUR DOG: ADB ESSENTIALS
