Two Day Seminar presented by the TACT Co-founders Emma Parsons and Julie Robitaille based on our DVD and Companion Workbook: TACT, A Training Program For Dogs That Are Fearful or Reactive Toward People.
Positive, practical solutions for the most challenging behavior problems. Living with a dog exhibiting fearful, reactive or aggressive behavior can be heartbreaking. It can leave pet owners with little to no hope of sharing a peaceful life with their canine companions. This two day seminar introduces a new innovative training methodology designed for the most challenging behavior problems faced by pet owners.
TACT, Touch Associated Clicker Training creatively combines the science and art of learning theory, clicker training and massage therapy. This unique approach is used specifically to rehabilitate and prevent shy, fearful, reactive, and aggressive behavior in dogs and puppies utilizing positive training methods. TACT utilizes ritualized protocols designed with safety, structure and predictability. TACT develops confidence and coping skills while changing the emotional response in fearful dogs. TACT incorporates a detailed home management and real world exposure control program for owners to follow to coincide with their training protocol. TACT is beneficial for all dogs, including puppies, shy dogs, and shelter dogs.
Experienced trainers and pet owners will learn how to use the TACT methodology to:
- Desensitize a dog’s fear of people and new environments
- Build confidence and coping skills, while changing the emotional response in fearful dogs
- Provide structure, bringing predictability to the dog’s life
- Develop and deepen the canine/human relationship
- Recognize canine body language and how to use this knowledge to set their dog up for success to maximize training results
- Implement an effective home and real world management program
- Develop a two way communication system between dog and handler
- Enlist pet owners to become part of the solution in a creative and fun way
- An effective tool in the canine professional’s behavior modification toolbox
- TACT’s Caregivers Fatigue program provides a plan for healthy self care
The seminar will include live dog demos. Due to our live demos, participant’s dogs are not allowed inside the building. Weather permitting, participants are allowed to have their dogs crated in their vehicles in the parking lot.
