ONLINE WEBINAR: Constructional Aggression Treatment 4- Part Webinar Series, Part 1

Part theory and part case study, in this four-part series you’ll get to tag along as Kellie Snider coaches Behavior Vet’s consultant Lauren Novack from start to finish, while she uses Constructional Aggression Treatment (CAT) to help fearful and aggressive dogs living in an urban environment. If you attended our last ABA series you now know what the constructional approach is and understand the bones of constructional affection. Now you’re ready to learn how to use the constructional approach to help aggressive animals!

Kellie Snider’s Constructional Aggression Treatment was first presented in 2007 when the concept was in its nascent experimental stages. Fourteen years later and after the successful completion of thousands of trials across 100 species, this treatment approach has proven to be a tool in the behavior intervention toolbox that’s worth it’s weight in gold.

Together, Kellie and Lauren will take you step by step through CAT from theory to practice. This series will help you make this intervention errorless and stress free for your human learners, canine learners, and helper dogs. By the end of this series you’ll know how to resolve aggressive behaviors exhibited by your canine clients while maintaining good welfare and increasing their quality of life.

This webinar series is designed to build off of the previous topics. In order to get the most out of this series, you really do need to watch all four. If you miss one, don’t worry, each webinar will be recorded. If you purchase a single webinar or the 4-part package before the event date of Part 4, you will receive the recording link(s).
