The Glasgow Dog Trainer NSW Seminar will be presented by John McGuian and Helen Hutchinson.

The Seminar will start at 9am each day and finish around 4pm.

Day 1: Saturday 16th November 2024

The morning covers simple exercises so that handlers can recognize how well their dog will do in certain environments, how to recognize how the dog might be feeling and strategies to improve behaviour and emotional well-being of the dog and human. 

​

We then move into the application of relaxation principles to assist dogs with separation anxiety, touch sensitivity, motion sensitivity, sound sensitivity, proximity issues and value attribution.

​

Next topic is co-occurring elements commonly sitting within the experience of fear where aggression may be displayed, such as preparing for surgery, post operative care. There will also be discussion around support dogs, the shelter environment, cognitive degeneration and dealing with multiple dogs. Working with deaf and blind dogs will also be addressed as well as a desensitisation plan and foundation training for pups.

​

The focus of the afternoon is understanding and resolving common behaviour issues such as counter surfing, jumping, pulling on the leash, poor recall, reactivity, hyperactivity and other problem behaviours.

Day 2: Sunday 17th November 2024

The big focus of day 2 will be on reactivity. Understanding the reasons as to why a dog displays aggressive behaviours, and looking at strategies that can help resolve the reactivity.
