Ethically and effectively working cases as a canine behavior professional requires us to perform both
initial and ongoing comprehensive analysis of all contributing elements to a dog’s behaviour.

 

The second part of this webinar will take a deep dive into the ten genetic working groups of dogs, exploring their original historical purpose and the resulting selective forces on behaviour for specialised perceptions and responses in various conditions. We examine how many of the erroneously labelled ‘behaviour problems’ commonly observed in pet dogs are the natural consequence of the friction created by modern conditions – the preservation of genetic keys (niches) that no longer fit the environmental locks (habitats) in which they find themselves. Through a greater understanding of the behaviours for which the various working groups were designed, we appreciate how readily these artificially selected patterns manifest problematically in the average pet dog lifestyle, and how paramount certain adjustments to our expectations and common practices of stewardship need to be in our profession and culture.
