SEMINAR PROGRAM
7.5 CEU's
AGGRESSION WORKSHOP
Monday • December 3rd • 8:30 am - 4:00 pm

Limited to 35 people to assure a more personal focus: a must for anyone working with dogs. Information from Saturday December 18 lecture, or comparable experience, is important preparation for this workshop. Preference for those registered for the Saturday-Sunday seminar.

Comprehensive review of body language and facial expression. A wide variety of live dogs (& some video) show the range of dog signals. Attendees will also evaluate the interaction, so they develop the observation skills and learn to interpret what they are seeing, up close and personal-- how aggressive dogs telegraph a bite long before they growl, snarl or snap. Participants will be divided in groups and work directly on scoring behaviors using Sue's Assess-A-Pet score sheets. You will read and record the subtle signals of aggression. Critiques of many of the individual score sheets will be given to help you hone your skills.
