How can you protect your dogs and your clients' dogs from scary sounds?
What are the challenges when using sound recordings for desensitization and counterconditioning?
What happened when Eileen didn't lower the volume for Zani's DS/CC? (Case study)
Learn About Evidence-Based Practices with Sound
In this recorded webinar, Eileen covers basics about the physics of sound that are not well-known in the dog training community and that can inform you how best to help our dogs.
You can learn how best to protect your dog from sound, be it with barriers, masking, or music.
You can learn why recorded sound may not "sound right" to dogs and what you can do about this and other acoustic challenges when counterconditioning.
You can learn from her case study of clinically sound phobic dog, Zani. Eileen shares how she used a novel method of altering the sounds for the steps of desensitization that can be replicated.
Even stable dogs can be bothered by sudden or annoying noises. This webinar will give you information you must know if you are going to help any dog deal with scary or unpleasant sounds.
