About the Course
You are getting ready to leave the house. With your dog glued to your heels, you wonder if you will come home to a mess again, or more noise complaints. None of the advice people have given you has made a difference, so far. You are at the end of your rope, yet desperate to help your dog ... and yourself. A huge step in the right direction would be to understand what you are up against. By that, we mean the turmoil that takes place inside of your dog when they are left alone. Why can't your dog be like other dogs and settle when you leave, and what should you do before you leave the house or when you return? Is there anything you can do to boost your dog's confidence throughout the day? There certainly is, and it is all covered in your ADB Essentials +1 course combination. For course content, please check out the below-listed curriculum. _____ This is a +1 mini course. A coupon code to be used for enrollment in the "You and your Dog" foundational course will be included in your welcome email. All ADB online courses come with lifetime access!
Scott Stauffer and Diana Kastner: Pioneers in CARE First!
Scott Stauffer has long embraced the principles of Affective Dog Behavior and CARE First, even before they developed into what is now recognized as Affective Dog Behavior. His deep interest in affective and social neuroscience, as well as mental health, has significantly influenced his perspective on and interactions with dogs, shaping his entire career. While Scott has a foundation in positive reinforcement training, he stands out as a uniquely skilled K9 Life Coach, prioritizing social-emotional connections and needs. Diana Kastner began her career in rescue rehabilitation. The obstacles she encountered with her own reactive and aggressive dogs prompted her to seek guidance from Scott Stauffer in 2016, and he has been her mentor ever since. Just three years later, Scott and Diana partnered together to officially establish K9 Life Coaching LLC and introduce their signature program, Affective Dog Behavior.
