Webinar

Quadrants Made Simple

Emily Priestley

Book Now

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

Book Now

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
