from hierarchy to cooperation - different systems in the human-dog relationship

What does it mean to have a competitive or hierarchical relationship with a dog? How does the dog replicate our relationship model with other dogs? How does that affect the behaviour and the responses of our dogs?

 

Most importantly, what happens when we switch from competition to cooperation, and how to do it? 

​

Our relationship with dogs articulate across different motivation systems, from attachment to caregiving, competition and cooperation. In this webinar, we will understand what it means and what activates each system.

​

Then, we'll look at what this mean in practice, observing how the relationship with shape determines how our dogs interact with others. 

​

We'll delve on how to activate cooperative responses and reshape our relationship towards functional dynamics.
