This session walks through how a behavioural hypothesis is developed from a consultation questionnaire, using a structured case study. Rather than focusing on surface-level behaviour, we explore how to interpret patterns, identify contributing factors, and build a clear, welfare-led understanding of the dog in front of you. You will see how information is filtered, prioritised, and translated into meaningful next steps, with a focus on safety, clarity, and practical application.

This session explores Benson, a Kelpie × Anatolian Shepherd displaying protective and territorial behaviour often mistaken for fear-based aggression. We discuss motivation, management, realistic goal setting, and how environment and teamwork between trainer, guardian, and vet shape long-term success. You’ll find two resources available for this session: • A PDF file containing the full presentation slides • An MP4 recording of the live Q&A

This session takes you inside the process of ethical decoy dog assessment. Focusing on risk, response, and observation, it demonstrates how to gather meaningful behavioural information without escalating stress or compromising safety. The emphasis is on thoughtful setup, accurate interpretation, and making decisions that reflect both welfare and real-world application.

This guide explores the unique behavioural patterns seen in herding breeds, helping you understand the role of instinct, sensitivity and environmental influence. Often labelled as reactive or anxious, many behaviours are rooted in genetics and sensory processing rather than training alone. Designed for guardians and professionals, this resource supports a deeper understanding of behaviour and more informed, welfare-focused decisions in real-world settings.
