Stranger-directed aggression (SDA) presents unique challenges compared to other forms of aggression. As a behavior professional, you need more than basic skills and popular protocols. You need a deeper understanding of the many nuances of these cases and practical skills and strategies to stay safe and help your clients achieve their goals.

​​

In this 3-part online series, you will learn how to:

• Safely work with all levels of stranger-directed aggression, regardless of bite level

• Avoid common mistakes consultants make in the first appointment

• Assess different levels of stranger-directed aggression

• Be a detective when gathering a behavior history

• Identify lesser-known signs of pain/illness for veterinary referrals

• Create practical and effective behavior plans that set your clients up for success

• ​Use more effective (and not boring) desensitization strategies

 

You will also learn why so many behavior consultants struggle to make progress using counterconditioning strategies in their cases, and how to achieve better results.​​

​

Each live session will be 2 hours in length, including Q&A with Lisa.
The recordings will be available for 60 days after the last session.
