How the brain affects your dogs Behaviour
"Living with a reactive or shut down dog can be extremely distressing, and it's difficult to know what to do for the best"
During this course you will learn how reactive dogs get ‘hijacked’ by the ‘Meerkat that lives in their brain’.
Â
This course helps owners to understand that their dogs reactions aren’t always under conscious control. It offers ways to understand the dog from their perspective and how to support them when they’re struggling to cope. By doing this we can help more dogs to #ControlTheMeerkat.
This lesson will provide you with a basic understanding of the different parts of the brain, and how their role affects your dogs behaviour.Â
You will get to meet Dog-ter Spock and his Meerkat friend Maurice, who control the inner workings of your dogs brain.
