Herding breeds- a user manual
Herding breeds, while trained similarly to other animals, often exhibit complex behaviours that can make working with them difficult. These dogs are prone to compulsive disorders, reactivity, body handling issues, resource guarding, high exercise and enrichment requirements, "spookiness", and breed instincts that may not always be suitable for pet dog homes. As a result, they are often misjudged.
This webinar aims to provide a deeper understanding of what makes these dogs tick. We will discuss common issues, ways to help them, what is considered "normal" and what is not, and how to enable them to flourish in their urban environments. Get ready to dive into the inner workings of these fantastic dogs!
NOT OFFERED AT THIS TIME. EXPECTED: APRIL 2023

Talking to clients about euthanasia and pet loss
Pet loss, euthanasia and grief are difficult subjects that can be uncomfortable for many people. As trainers, we often focus on the happy and fun aspects of puppyhood and adulthood, but don't spend much time addressing the challenges of the senior years or guiding clients through the loss of a pet, whether it's due to unexpected medical issues, accidents or behavioural euthanasia.
It's important to approach these conversations in a supportive and informed manner, but many of us lack the experience and knowledge to do so effectively. It can lead to awkwardness and leave everyone feeling uncertain and unsupported.
Emily, a certified death doula with experience guiding clients through pet loss and performing euthanasia, will provide a safe, supportive and interactive exploration of what to expect in these situations. This webinar will equip you with the tools you need to approach these sensitive conversations with confidence and support your clients through their loss with the informatio and resources to feel prepared. It will also guide you in dealing with your own grief that you could experience due to the loss of a client dog.
For those who can't attend live, the recording will be provided.
Dates coming soon!
