Working With Stress and Trauma

For you if you are working as a trainer or behaviourist working with dogs it's so very important to be able to understand the signs of stree and trauma individual dogs might be exhitibing - one size does not fit all! and we need the skills to recognise what individual dogs are communicating.  The emotional welfare of the dogs we work with is the most important consideration we make

Working with Stress and Trauma

The webinar content includes a real life case study so you can see how such cases are managed and delivered


The effects of Chronic Stress and Trauma on the mental and physical well-being of dogs cannot be underestimated

The realisation that, as with humans, each dog is an individual and will have their own level of resilience to events that may trigger trauma is critical to our understanding

Trauma needs to be understood as a personal response to an event, not the event itself, as in many cases the ‘event’ will be insignificant to many but devasting to one or a few individuals.

Understanding this and the effects of stress on susceptibility to trauma, will allow trainers and behaviourists to guide owners and work compassionately with both them and the dogs that they are caring for

The webinar looks at stress [and anxiety] and its effect on trauma responses and antecedents, displacement behaviour is discussed from the dogs’ perspective, along with perceptions of their own safety

Understanding of causes, veterinary issues and emotional wellbeing are explored further through a ‘real life’ case study which highlights further the individual aspects to trauma


The webinar covers the following topics:

• Defining stress and trauma•Chronic stress and chronic anxiety
• Emotions
• Trauma and behaviour - Fear
• Trauma and behaviour – Displacement Behaviour?
• SAFETY - the dogs' perspective
• Destiny – Case Study
• Emotional wellbeing
