The 10 Principles of Cognitive Therapy (more fun than it sounds) The 3 criteria to Scientifically Prove a Methodology - Does UPWARD Dogology Make the Cut? What is "Dog Cognition"?

20 minutes

Welcome to the revamped Season 1 (as of Sept, 2021)

In this final episode of Season 1, we explore the 10 principles of Cognitive Therapy. Why is this important? Well, in doing so, we learn how UPWARD Dogology incorporates approaches and principles that scientists and animal experts are recognizing as necessary components for securing a positive relationship with our canine companions. ( ie - communication, bonding, pro-active prevention, teaching expected behavior, building a platform, calm guidance, recognizing emotions and harnessing cognitive skills)

Cognitive Studies on canines performed by scientists prove dogs can think cognitively. We need to harness these skills to effectively "work with" dogs, especially adolescent dogs and ones with checkered or unconventional upbringings. Learn what cognitive skills are and why how those effect your dog's behavior on a daily basis.

Dog experts are making strides in incorporating methods, principles and approaches that non-aversively harness cognitive skills and respect the emotional intelligence of dogs. Is this possible while only adhering to methods grounded in Conditioning Methodologies?

To decrease euthanasia and surrenders, we need a methodology that addresses aggression and anxiety to a greater degree than the ones currently presented in mainstream dog training. Change is urgently needed. Be a part of the solution.
