Come join us for a juicy conversation about dogs and science! This is a unique offering where I got to chat with author and Biology Professor Tim Lewis, PhD about how Biology interweaves with my BAT 3.0 technique for dog aggression, frustration, and fear.
We prepared by reading each other's books and having fascinating chats on all things dog. Tim also created a few short micro-presentations to explore certain topics in a bit more depth and I brought some videos of BAT for Tim to look at through the lens of an evolutionary biologist and border collie fanatic.
Recorded June 2023.
Suitable for dog trainers, behaviorists, shelter workers or anyone who wants to help dogs.
Discussion prompt examples: What's happening during a BAT session, biologically?
What did I learn in Biology class that isn't actually true?
What's the difference between the nervous system and the hormonal systems, what is their function, and what does that have to do with BAT??
What should I know about dog biology that would help me use BAT more effectively?
How does our human view of the world differ from our dogs, and how might that affect behavior?
What are some important differences between dogs and humans that relate to learning and behavior? What do they have in common?
This webinar and all of the other classes in the school are included with a Diamond Membership All Access Pass. For one low price per month, you get access to all of our emotionally enriching dog courses. See if Diamond is right for you.

Tim Lewis PhD brought up valuable information on both epigenetics and behavior. Excited to read his book!

Read MoreTen stars! I quickly purchased Tim's book before they sold out. Without a clue about the scientific significance behind it, I have always asked new clients what their dog's stool looks like. Tim shared a plethora of information considering gut health, hormones, and neurological responses. Most interesting was learning about how the environment of the pregnant dog affects the pups. I've listened twice. Third time will be for note taking. Fabulous!

Read MoreScience is important AND research papers ARE difficult to wade through for the average person to critically analyze. It is wonderful to hear experts in their field have conversations and raise questions that don’t necessarily have answers today. I like how questions generate more questions that can keep us aware and observing. Why I am a dog training profession is because of the “science-based” practices we follow. At the same time, I liked the empowerment of making your own observations of individual cases, recording videos, and keeping the conversations going with peers since the research may lag. This webinar embraces questioning, new approaches and facts. I admit I geek out about the biology. The presentation of the hard-core biology was clear, even though it took me a while to work through it. I wanted to slow down and really comprehend what this expert was offering. Highly recommend this.
