Leaving Conflict Behind – Skills to Reduce Intra-Household Aggression with Christina Young

This webinar will discuss when and why dogs living together in a home might fight. Once management is in place, then what? How can we teach dogs to move away from conflict rather than into it? We will look beyond the basics to what skills and games can help dogs learn to move away.

Learning Objectives:

• Learn skills and games to help dogs learn to move away from conflict.

Your Presenter – Christina Young

She enjoys hiking and biking with her dogs and actively competes in disc, nosework, dock diving, agility and rally obedience. She also participates in the St. John’s Ambulance Therapy Dog program with her blind dog, Maxi.

For most of her life, before pursuing her dream of dog training full time, Christina worked with youth and adults with disabilities, tutoring and later teaching and coordinating educational programs. Her experience teaching people has developed her skills so that she is a flexible and adaptable instructor.

Christina is referred to as a “crossover trainer,” which means that she previously used e-collars, prong collars, choke chains, alpha-rolls, and other punitive techniques. Christina no longer uses any of these tools and methods and hasn’t since 2010, just before Maxi came into her life. She promised Maxi and all her dogs moving forward that she would not use pain or fear to train.
