Introduction to Dog Training and Dog Psychology

Understanding dog psychology and behaviour is important for anyone who works with dogs or keeps them as a companion animal.

Understanding how dogs have developed anatomically and physiologically from their wild counterpart, the wolf, helps us to understand behaviours we see in domesticated dogs.

This allows us to provide an environment in which the dog remains a happy and healthy companion.

It’s important to remember that many dogs display behavioural problems or ‘unwanted behaviour’ at various stages in their lives.

Often unwanted behaviour is merely a symptom of an underlying problem (either mental or physical) and the unwanted behaviour that is displayed is the dog’s way of coping with the problem.  

It is important to remember that the behaviour may be ‘unwanted’ in human terms only; it is a natural response for a dog to bark when the doorbell rings or to dig a hole in the garden.  Understanding dog psychology will help make sense of the dog’s behaviour.

Our online courses provide the convenience of learning new skills and gaining knowledge in the time and location that works for you

I have a love and passion for animals from growing up on a farm in South Africa. After gaining a Veterinary Science degree, I worked in mixed general practice while completing a master’s degree in Veterinary Parasitology. Living and working in South Africa exposed me to a vast range of experiences in the veterinary field: treating patients ranging from marmoset monkeys to lions to the everyday cat, dog or horse. Two years as a Laboratory Vet resulted in helping farmers tackle livestock health problems in a variety of farm production systems. Since her move to Western Australia with my family, I have been working in a small animal practice. During my 20 years as a vet, I've been involved in several research projects and the tutoring of students in various fields of animal science. I love mentoring students and sharing my knowledge, and helping students flourish and realise their full potential!
