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 2 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 a ritualized protocol designed with safety, structure and
predictability. TACT develops confidence and coping skills while shaping 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.
Both pet owners and experienced trainers will learn how to use the TACT
program 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
