Whose behavior is it anyway? – with Andrew Hale

Whose behavior is it anyway?

‘We tend to judge others by their behavior, and ourselves by our intentions’ Albert F Schlieder

In this talk Andrew will be taking us on a philosophical reappraisal of how we view behavior, both our own and the behavior of dogs. He will also question some of the perceived wisdoms we have regarding the current outlook of training and behavior of companion dogs. Andrew will examine what is meant by the emotional experience and it’s unique and personal connection to how we represent ‘self’. By inviting listeners to consider their own behavior, their own motivations and their own emotional experience, Andrew hopes to allow a shift in how we perceive the behavior of others, including our dogs.

Learning objectives:

• Explore what is meant by the emotional experience
• Consider the importance of the emotional experience as a drive to behavior
• Examine what connects humans and dogs through the emotional experience
• To consider the concept of relief in the role of behavior
