If you attended our last ABA series you now know what the constructional approach is and understand the bones of constructional affection. Now you’re ready to learn how to use the constructional approach to help aggressive animals! Kellie Snider’s Constructional Aggression Treatment was first presented in 2007 when the concept was in its nascent experimental stages. Fourteen years later and after the successful completion of thousands of trials across 100 species, this treatment approach has proven to be a tool in the behavior intervention toolbox that’s worth it’s weight in gold. Together, Kellie and Lauren will take you step by step through CAT from theory to practice. This series will help you make this intervention errorless and stress free for your human learners, canine learners, and helper dogs.
