Open dit NIET als je niet probleemgedrag in de kern wil aanpakken

Hoi Reader, Je doet dit werk omdat je wilt dat de hond echt een beter leven heeft. Omdat je de professional wil zijn die niet aan de oppervlakte werkt maar tot de kern komt, die niet symptomen bestrijdt maar begrijpt wat er op een dieper niveau in die hond gebeurt en van daaruit werkt met precisie en vertrouwen. Voor alle gedragsprofessionals die blijvende verandering willen bewerkstelligen en die willen voelen dat ze weten wat ze doen en waarom ze het doen, geef ik deze week een gratis masterclass Stressmanagement bij honden. Dat doe ik samen met gedragsdeskundige Daniëlla de Coster van Paws in touch. In anderhalf uur nemen we je mee in de neurobiologie van stress op een manier die je in de meeste opleidingen niet tegenkomt. Je krijgt de wetenschappelijke verdieping achter stress, angst en concepten als aangeleerde hulpeloosheid. Daarnaast krijg je meteen de praktische vertaling die direct verandert hoe je naar casussen kijkt, en die je gaat helpen om eigenaren ook mee te krijgen. De masterclass is gratis en is speciaal gemaakt voor gedragsdeskundigen, gedragstherapeuten en kynologisch instructeurs die al werkervaring hebben en klaar zijn voor de wetenschappelijke diepgang die hun kennis en skills naar het volgende niveau tilt. Let op: er komt geen replay!
Groet, Else & Daniella

Hi Reader, When we work with a sound-fearful dog, keeping them calm feels like the obvious goal. Soft sounds in the background, a relaxed dog, nothing that stirs them up. It looks kind and welfare-friendly, and it's everywhere. I've even seen videos of dogs almost massaged to sleep while firework sounds play quietly behind them. The dog is settled, clearly not distressed, and the whole thing looks lovely. But is this actually helping the dog? Not really. Because a dog who is that relaxed,...
Hi Reader, The million-dollar question is how to guide noise phobic (and noise sensitive) dogs towards more confidence around sounds. In a study by Herwijnen et al. (2024) a questionnaire was sent to 3,009 dog owners (and 622 cat owners!) asking about their experiences with fireworks. Here are the key findings from the Study: ✅ Early-life noise exposure reduces the risk of developing noise sensitivity. ✅ Dogs with suboptimal early socialization are more prone to fear loud noises. ✅ Noise...
Hi Reader, Noise phobias can really suck the life out of any good dog trainer. That's exactly why I'm hosting a free masterclass about noise phobias. In this master class, we will discuss what's happening behind the behaviour: what is going on in the brain of a dog that is shaking with fear after a thunderclap, and why it is not the noise itself that's really the problem? I will be giving the master classes on five different dates and all of them are LIVE. The first one is on June 16, and the...
