EVENT DETAILS:  
 
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 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.  
 
Tact teaches both pet owners and experienced trainers how 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

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
