Cameron Ford - Canine Cognition Testing
​
Oct 15-17, 2021
$475
This seminar is based on the research Cameron Ford has conducted with Duke University.
This seminar is for everyone: whether you are a professional looking to enhance how you select dogs, or a nose/scent work handler or trainer trying to understand the dog you have. Learn how cognition testing enhances your knowledge about the dog in front of you. These cognition tests (brain games) will help you learn crucial information such as, if your dog is strong in memory, if he is a problem solver, how quickly he makes inferences, how easily he follows gestural communication, and your dogs laterality. These tests can even help law enforcement agencies and security firms select better, more trainable working K-9s.
