- Why common interventions often make things worse
- Assessment and history-taking for sound-sensitive dogs

Quadrants Made Simple
Emily Priestley
The four quadrants of operant conditioning underpin everything we do as trainers — but they're often taught in ways that create confusion in practice. This webinar cuts through the noise and builds a clear, usable framework for understanding and applying the quadrants in real behaviour cases.
- The quadrants — what they actually mean in practice
- Common misconceptions that trip trainers up
- How to explain the quadrants clearly to clients
- Applying the framework to real case presentations
- Live Q&A with Emily

Understanding Behaviour Medications
Emily Priestley
Behaviour medications are a critical part of treatment for many of the dogs trainers work with — but most trainers have little or no formal grounding in how they work, when they're indicated, and how to support clients through the process. This webinar builds that foundation.
- Why medication matters in behaviour cases — and when to raise it
- Common classes of behaviour medication and how they work
- How to talk to clients about medication without overstepping scope
- Working effectively alongside veterinary teams
- What to monitor and how to document behavioural response to medication
- Live Q&A with Emily
