Please note this is a lecture event and will not involve real dogs.  This was previously run as part of the PDTE (Pet Dog Trainers Europe) 2010 seminar held in Spain and is a unique opportunity for those of us who missed it.                                        

This lecture day will consist of four sections:

1. Basic principles - how we know dogs have memories, short vs long term memory, practical application of basic principles in training and behaviour problems.

2. Memory physiology - and how relates to training and behaviour modification.

3. What else affects memory and practical applications for better understanding and looking after our dogs

4. How to bring everything together holistically.
