Description

In this presentation, Andrew will look at the importance of ensuring physical, emotional and social safety needs are met in the training of dogs and explore the shift from a primarily task-oriented approach to more of a care oriented one-care being about recognizing the dogs' emotional experience within the structure of the job they are being asked to do. It is proven that if emotional and social safety needs are not met, training is more likely to fail and if we are to ensure the dog is able to do the important tasks we want from them, they are more likely to perform this when physically, emotionally, and socially well-regulated. Many of these same principles apply to the service user and the professionals supporting the human/dog working relationship, and it is hoped delegates will be moved to see behavior and training with a new perspective.
