Is It Medical or Behaviour?
A Critical Conversation for Dog Professionals & People
- Presenter: Dr. Denenberg
- Hosted by: Andrea Dinan, City Dogs Training & Behaviour
As dog professionals, we are often the first point of contact when behaviour changes arise.
But what happens when the issue isn’t behavioural?
Understanding the difference between medical and behavioural causes is critical—not only for effective training outcomes, but for the welfare of the dog and the trust of your clients.
In this session, Dr. Denenberg will guide dog professionals through how to identify medical red flags, when to refer out, and how to collaborate effectively with veterinary teams.
This webinar is hosted by Andrea Dinan as part of a new monthly professional development series designed to bring together leading voices in behaviour, training, and canine welfare.
