Complex Canine Communication

This module is designed for professionals who have already a good basic understand of dog body language.

Understanding The Neurochemistry of Stress

Stress is stressful, no joke! But what impact does it have on the dogs brain, and how does stress impact that dogs behaviour? Why is chronically elevated cortisol the enemy of the dog groomer? Learn about the complexities of neurochemistry, and find out how you can explain this to your client in simple terms.

Understanding the Role of the Endocrine System in Behaviour

Hormones, hormones, hormones. This module will educate you on how hormones cause changes in behaviour, and how you can manipulate your canine clients in to increasing the desired hormone levels.

Behaviour Modification for the Fearful Dog

A fearful dog is an unhappy dog. They may seem shut down, and relatively straight forward to groom, but it truly breaks your heart to see a fearful Fido on your grooming table. Gain the skills and knowledge required to help boost these babies confidence.

Behaviour Modification for the Aggressive Dog

No one wants to get bitten! And no one wants a dog on their table that has learned that biting gets them biscuits! This module will teach you how to handle the unhandlable hounds.
