Description

If I can make it here, I can make it anywhere..... Frank Sinatra may have sung those words over 60 years ago, but when it comes to cities, some things never change. Noise, bright lights, restrictive spaces and so many people. Make no wonder dogs can struggle. 

It doesn’t help that conventional dog training wisdom stresses that pet trainers and behavior consultants look to control for distance, duration, and distractions while training dogs. But, in urban settings, those foundations are luxuries. With constant sounds often registering at decibels louder than a leaf blower, and few places to let dogs be free, behavior consultants, trainers, and veterinary behaviorists are limited in what can be done to help dogs in densely populated environments. This is immensely distressing in our canine (and human) learners, which can lead to escalating behavioral fallout. 
 But all is not lost as in this webinar, Urban Dog Specialist Melissa McCue-McGrath will reframe what we know about dog training and behavior through a restrictive, city-dog lens, so that professionals in this space can help manage expectations appropriately. She will then provide tips to encourage attendees to think outside the box in urban environments, which ultimately helps learners in every environments make it happen anywhere.
