Dog meets Dr Spock and the meerkat.

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’.

 

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.
