CFBA 1102 Common Canine Behaviour Problems 

Course Summary

This module is designed to teach you understanding of the complex array of general canine behaviour problems presented to a Canine Behaviour Practitioner and the causes, compounding factors and the most up-to-date solutions to those problems.

Throughout the module, you will be able to observe clients discussing canine behavioural problems, learn about types of problem and individual examples and solutions to the most common problems presented. This course does not cover any forms of aggression (modules CFBA 1103 and 1104 cover this in depth).

This phase will involve you carrying out your own investigations and explorations in to behaviour problems. The module will culminate in phase six with a DVD case study of a real client presenting their dogs problems to a behaviour practitioner and you will through your learnt knowledge, assess the dog, the problem and offer behavioural solutions in a written report to that client.
