Handling Problem Dogs

Pam Lauritzens

is featured at this years U.S. Pet pro Classic

Understanding animal behavior and management is fundamental to the education of any pet care professional. This year the U.S. Pet Pro Classic is featuring a
indepth six hour Animal Behavior & Management workshop designed to
increase your awareness of canine behavior and handling techniques. Program
includes:

Part 1-2: Animal Behavior 101 (Thurs. 1:00pm)

In order to work with animals effectively and
with minimal risk of injury to yourself or the
animal, it is essential to understand instinctive
behaviors and why animals react the way they
do. In this insightful presentation, Pam
Lauritzen, renowned animal behavior expert
with over 30 years of research will discuss
innate and learned canine behaviors. She will
cover nervous system types, reflexes, territorial bounderies, perception and social development and their impact on animal management.
Before you work with canines, you should first
understand how to interact with their instinctive and learned behaviors.

Part 3: The Senses & How Animals Learn (Thurs. 2:15pm)

A continuation of Animal Behavior, part 1, in this session Pam will continue her discussion on innate and learned behavior and will introduce body
language (talking to the animals), the senses, learning and conditioning
techniques.
Part 4: Rehabilitation & Handling Techniques (Thurs. 3:30pm)
Dont let good dogs go bad and rehabilitation programs for dogs gone
bad are the focus of this presentation. Pam will discuss interview skills, the
use and interpretation of the Pam Lauritzen Canine Behavior Evaluation
Form, as well as her methods for safe handling of animals. Shell also
demonstrate approach techniques and table training and will explain counter-conditioning, desensitization methods and client counseling.

Part 5: Case Studies (Thurs. 5:00pm)

Problem solving is the focus of this intense, interactive seminar. With over
30 years of research in canine behavior, internationally renowned expert
Pam Lauritzen will help you find solutions to behavior problems you are
encountering. Youll learn problem solving techniques and methods and
participate in a group interactive session. Bring your questions and let Pam
help you develop rehabilitation programs for some of your most difficult
problem dogs.
If yourre dealing with dogs that:

Jerk their feet and/or bite when you try to handle or clip them
Scream when you gently handle and/or clean their ears
Shake uncontrollably when placed on a styling table
Go from Dr. Jekyll to Mr. Hyde when placed in a cage
Are Psychotic
Hug the styling table and wont let go
Are unpredictable and/or aggressive
Bark incessantly
Are hyperactive

. . . Then these seminars are a MUST!
