Your Two-Day Virtual Event
May 24 and 25, 2025
Learn About Preventing Problematic Behavior From the Onset
Two Tracks – 16 Sessions – 14 Presenters
Join us for a live two-day virtual event with Dr. Daniel Mills headlining a group of canine and feline experts presenting 16 sessions on topics focused on the emotional development and well-being of puppies and kittens to support the prevention of problematic behavior.
Canine & Feline Experts
Prof. Daniel Mills – Dr. Amber Batson – Dr. Robert Falconer-Taylor – Dr. Maggie Roberts – Louise Stapleton-Frappell – Suzanne Clothier – Karolina Westlund, PhD – Lorna Winter – Kristyn Vitale, PhD – Zazie Todd, PhD – Courtney Graham, PhD
Dr. Mills states, “We tend to think of problem behaviors as individual issues to be managed, but most problems, other than those related to obedience, reflect an undesirable intensity or type of emotion, which can manifest in many different ways.”
He further explains that “as emotions develop, they initially appear relatively crude, becoming more refined and adaptive as the animal gains experience. This has implications for puppies: first, problem behaviors will be common; second, they will tend to appear in clusters reflecting their emotional and social underpinnings; and third, they should be managed not as individual problems but through guiding emotional and social development.”
Dr. Mills will present evidence to support this view of puppy behavior based on new current research conducted with Zigzag, the puppy training app. The focus of these presentations will be on the implications of this research, alongside recommendations for how we might reframe our perspective of sensitive phases/critical periods and, ultimately, how we might optimally manage puppies.
