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: 

Does counter conditioning with food make sense to the dog in a social context? Does it have the potential to make things worse?

How does frequent engage-disengage or approach - retreat repetitions feel to the dogs involved?

Is the use of toys in a social context helpful to the end-goal?

Do efforts to respond to training cues and rewards from the handler put some dogs under pressure?

Are we stripping agency away from dogs when we ask them to turn their backs on an approaching dog or to set the criteria that our dogs should never react?

Are we asking too much of dogs with no recent positive or neutral social experience to walk on a loose lead and avoid nose-to-nose approaches/greetings?

Does a reaction always mean 'game over'?

Are we holding our dogs back from progressing by applying a too high criteria?

Do owners of reactive dogs have the skills to cope with a less-than-perfect scenario involving another dog?

This webinar is supported by video of footage demonstrating dogs working through social rehabilitation training with Roz or her team. Including sessions 'in the wild' and controlled sessions with helper dogs.

Roz will share her observations and thoughts as to why so many dogs appear to get stuck at engage-disengage or for some- to not manage this at all- and how many dogs and clients remain unable to manage social encounters.

Roz Pooley, MSc, CAB, APBC, CCAB, ATI

Roz runs The Mutty Professor and is a Certified Clinical Animal Behaviourist with a Master's Degree in Clinical Animal Behaviour. She lives in Bristol UK, with her partner and three dogs.

Her Thai Street Dog, Kanita, has been her biggest teacher. At 12, Kanita is now retired from helper dog sessions (and was always niche!), but Roz's two male dogs (and all of the previous dogs she has had) support her in rehabilitating dogs with social issues, despite all but one coming from a rescue background. Often they provide over-reactive dogs their first positive social experience in years
