We’ll be discussing popular training techniques and theories and breaking them down into

How to teach these exercises to our dogs and how we can vary them to suit the emotional
needs of the individual.

How to recognise and evaluate the behavioural states of the individuals within the class,
taking into account their ethology, genetics, and behavioural states such as fearful, nervous,
aggressive / controlling, frustrated, threat-reduction, play and relaxation and identify
situations where further action may be necessary.
