The “alpha” theory in dog training is a bit like saying we should all live like reality TV stars – full of drama and tension!

Dogs are much happier when we focus on building trust and understanding. Let’s spread the word about positive training methods!

HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE FOR TICKS TO TRANSMIT DISEASE VERSUS THE KILL TIMES OF SPOT-ONS...
Can't wait for tonight, 7pm BST, Dr Victoria - vétérinaire holistique is a fabulous English/Swiss vet I met on the circuit some years ago. She has kindly agreed to come on and show us a few slides on ticks, specifically regarding how they bite and how long it takes them to transmit disease versus the stated kill times of these spot-ons.

Can't believe I never thought to look into this one before and now cannot wait to hear the answer!

Some background of the speaker:

Dr Victoria grew up in the South of England, where she began working as an intern and then as an employee at her local veterinary practice, Hillside Vets, until she entered veterinary college in 2007.

In 2011, she accepted a mission with the Fédération Équestre Internationale (FEI), moved to Switzerland and participated in several world competitions, such as the London Olympics and several world championships. While competing, she noticed that high-level horses are often treated with alternative medicine to ensure their best performances.

Viktoria is now specialised in Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine (TCVM), Chinese Dietetics, herbal formulas, acupuncture and techniques such as the Balance Method of Doctors Tan and Alfaro. In 2017, she began to integrate both systems of medicine, Western and Chinese, and apply them daily at the Equilibre Veterinary Practice.

Dr. Victoria, is soon to your go to French-speaking holistic veterinarian, available for in-person or online conferences. If you would like to consult her, please contact the Vet Équilibre practice in Yverdon-les-Bains, Switzerland.

When you’re struggling to support an autistic child or adult, do this…

If you’re like me, you’re on mailing lists for various things related to autism, and have shelves full of books on specific topics from behaviour to interventions. Most of these books and articles you read, getting inspired techniques and ideas.

But do you ever find strategies that work?

See, I know a lot of parents and professionals for many years myself, I also faced similar difficulties in getting strategies that work. And then I thought it would be much more easier and fun, If I had a group of people that were looking for practical strategies that work.

It’s like being part of a community that likes the same things that you like. You’ll make some new friends, and most importantly, you’ll find practical strategies that actually support an autistic person.

That’s why we focused on building a community of parents and professionals, because at the end of the day, we all need support, and learning about autism is much more fun when you’ve the right people to share it with.

If you join this special webinar with Dr. Temple Grandin’s today, you’ll get free exclusive access to our private Facebook group as well as an action planner.

Resolving dog-dog reactivity can feel complicated and overwhelming, but you can boil it down to these five simple steps.

Want to learn more? Save 75% on our Dog-Dog Reactivity Training Plan: https://dunbar.info/aug24reactivedog
(Only for a few more hours)

1. Stop Making the Problem Worse. If your dog is reactive, then walking your dog in public is probably overstimulating and overwhelming and it's probably making this problem worse. Also, their reactivity is probably making you nervous and your dog can probably notice your anxiety and that's further fueling your dog's reactivity.

2. Train Your Dog to FEEL Better. If your dog's reactivity is in any way fear-based, then resolving that fear is essential. Classical conditioning is the key to helping your dog feel better around other dogs. In a single "Mega Cookie Dog Session" you can make a huge change in the way your dog feels about other dogs and in a week or two, you can completely transform their temperament.

3. Train Your Dog to BEHAVE Better. How do you want your dog to behave when they see another dog? How about they Come to you, Sit, Stay and Watch You? This sequence of behaviors is perfect for nipping dog-dog reactivity in the bud by getting your dog's attention off of other dogs and onto you. Practice this sequence until its second nature and super reliable.

4. Practice in Progressively More Challenging Environments. It's one thing getting your dog to Come, Sit-Stay and Watch You when you are alone together in your kitchen. It's another when you're on the street with a bunch of unfamiliar dogs walking your way. So break it down into manageable steps. Practice in your home, then in your back yard, then your driveway, then the sidewalk in front of your house, then around familiar dogs, and then, finally, out in the real world around unfamiliar dogs.

5. Create a Core Social Group. If you really want your dog to be comfortable around other dogs, then you need to give your dog ample opportunities to practice their social skills and build their confidence. Simply put, your dog needs dog friends! Meet with a small group of familiar dogs on a regular basis to practice training and socialization and your dog will become much more comfortable around other, unfamiliar dogs.
