Play Way Weekend with Dr. Amy Cook

The​ ​Play​ ​Way​ is Dr. Amy Cook’s method of helping shy and fearful dogs overcome these issues to live a happier, less-stressed life. Rather than focusing mainly on food, as many do when working with these dogs, Amy has established a more nuanced rehabilitation process that revolves around personal, social play. She believes play is a much more reliable method of judging a dog’s true behavioral thresholds, while being equally effective at supporting a dog to make emotional change. Play is both an indicator of stress and an intervention for stress!

In this seminar you will learn:

-How to identify stress in dogs

-About threshold management

-How to read a dog so you know what to do when

-About relaxed play, and its important role in the rehabilitation of stress & anxiety
