Growl Class - A Workshop Demo For Reactive Dogs

What you'll learn
Objectively assess the severity of a dog's fighting based on a Fight:Bite ratio that examines actual damage done
Provide prognoses and accurate estimates of the time required to rehabilitate anti-social dogs
Administer a stress test to determine a dog's level of anxiety and the source of that anxiety
Empower tug toys and kibble as very high value secondary reinforcers
Give representational feedback to a dog that is in a social setting
Use All-or-None Reward Training to decrease and eliminate reactivity and regain calmness, focus and control
Set up controlled classical conditioning scenarios
Block antisocial stimuli and signaling through the use of Come, Sit and Watch commands
Use Differential Classical Conditioning (DCC) to enable simultaneous Operant and Classical Conditioning without unintentionally reinforcing reactivity
Use the Jolly Routine for Classical Conditioning
Maintain a dog's pro-social temperament throughout their entire life
Requirements
Students should have a basic understanding of dog training
Before working with any dog you should understand their history of aggression. How reactive are they? What stimuli are they sensitive to? What damage have they caused in the past?
Description
These days many people understand the importance of early puppyhood socialization. They take their puppy to group training classes, they introduce their puppies to lots of friends and neighbors and they may even host a puppy party or two. This is a wonderful development and it has done a lot to improve the temperament of countless dogs. Unfortunately, after this intensive period of early socialization period many owners slack off. They see that their hard work has paid off and that their puppy is friendly and sociable in every situation they find themselves in. What they don't realize is that dogs naturally become more shy and standoffish as they get older. Adolescent and adult dogs develop fears and phobias to stimuli that they aren't continually exposed to. Keeping your dog well-socialized to other dogs is not so easy, and often this area of their socialization deteriorates the most rapidly. At some point most dogs will get into at least one fight with another dog. Sadly, this often marks the beginning of the end when it comes to their socialization with other dogs. The owners want to avoid future fights so they avoid future opportunities to socialize. The dogs socialization deteriorates further and the likelihood of them fighting when they see another dog increases. Resolving this problem in the course of everyday life is very difficult. Dr. Dunbar demonstrates how to use a Growl Class to classically condition dogs and rehabilitate and re-socialize them to once again enjoy the company of other dogs.
