Trainers, you've probably had a client say, "My dog is terrified of the car. What do I do?"
Maybe the dog refuses to get in. Maybe they panic when the door closes. Maybe they seem fine in the driveway but completely fall apart once the car starts moving.
You probably also have seen that "just countercondition the car" falls short.
In this webinar, I’ll walk you through the way I approach dogs with car-related fear and anxiety, using real cases and training footage to show how I assess the problem, make decisions, adjust my approach, and determine when a dog is ready to progress.
Here's what you'll learn:
🚗 How to assess what the dog is actually afraid of
🚗 How to determine a starting point for training
🚗 How to actually create positive associations with car travel
🚗 How to identify skill gaps and build them in a way that holds up under stress
🚗 How to modify the plan and troubleshoot setbacks
Over the two hours you'll see videos from several cases with discussion of what I'm seeing, why I made certain decisions, and how the plan changed as the dogs progressed.
There will be opportunities for real-time knowledge implementation as we work through scenarios together, as well as time for Q&A after the presentation.
You'll leave with a framework for approaching car anxiety cases, a better understanding of how to apply familiar learning theory concepts in a way that actually works, and a behind-the-scenes look at the reasoning that goes into real-world behavior modification.
