The webinar is suitable for pet owners, veterinary professionals, animal trainers, animal behaviorists, pet guardians, shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, and anyone with an interest in evidence-based behavior and training.

In this Webinar: 

Learn about how the dog's brain perceives information through different sensory systems, what is attention and why it matters, cognitive processes involved in memory encoding and recall, and what influences a dog's decision making.

Finally, Daniel will explore how these cognitive mechanisms interact with the environment, and consider how the presence of environmental stressors such as poor welfare or aversive training methods may impact these processes (for better or for worse).
