Described as the most rational voice in dog training today, Jean not only “talks the talk” in her award-winning books and DVD but “walks the walk” as director of the San Francisco SPCA’s acclaimed Academy for Dog Trainers. Jean’s dogs and dogs she has trained have titles including Flyball Champion, Obedience Trial Champion, Utility Dog, Tracking Dog Excellent and Canine Good Citizen.
Jean’s background in science and her current studies towards a doctorate in evolutionary biology, give her a unique perspective on behaviour as an evolutionary adaptation.
Please join us for “Dog Behaviour – The Science Made Accessible”: the latest and most accurate information, made crystal clear and understandable but not all dumbed down.
· Demystification of Nature-Nurture questions (in English until you really get it)
· Genetics and domestication – the fascinating ways these impact behavior
· Evolution by Natural Selection – “The Single Best Idea Anybody Ever Had” (Daniel Dennett) and why it is the key to all (every last bit of…) behavior
· The Four “F”s of animal behavior and their specifics in dogs
· Thinking like an evolutionary biologist about fear and aggression
· What the heck is play? Refereeing play
· What are dogs’ strong cognitive domains, or brain-power modules
· Ask your Most Burning Question
· Oodles of practical pointers along the way
· Oodles of fun
· Oodles of head-exploding information
