Training Instinctive Behaviours with
Helen Phillips
Many dogs are bred to inherit
strong, instinctive behaviours. These are normally
triggered by specific stimulus, with specific responses
making the specialised dogs supremely suitable for
certain activities. Without careful development of
these instincts it can go horribly wrong, and the dogs
are left frustrated and uncontrollable, and seemingly
untrainable.
This seminar looks at the
development, stimulus, opportunities for positive
management and outlets to allow the dogs to enjoy their
heritage.
