A dog’s behavior is a combination of extrinsic influences impacting the dog’s genetics. This presentation explores how the early environment, experiences, socialization, and many other outside influences impact behavior throughout the dog’s life. Understanding how some behavior problems can be exacerbated or avoided is critical information for behavior consultants and trainers. Topics include the development of body language, bonding, pack and play behavior, species-specific discipline and normal behavioral changes throughout the dog’s life, plus puppy selection procedures designed to evaluate temperament and personality predispositions for appropriate placement.
