  • Sound Phobias & Sensitivities With Eileen Anderson

    Eileen Anderson is a highly respected contributor to the dog training community. Her website provides educational information for trainers and pet owners. I've even seen one of her training videos used an example of 'good training' at a conference for members of the ABA and behavior analysis community.

    Sound sensitivities are considered to be medical emergencies by some veterinary behaviorists. Helping dogs change their response to specific sounds requires more than just addressing the volume, a common misunderstanding among the dog training community. 

    Her website provides owners with support for addressing individual sound sensitivities in their pets.

    Her book Remember Me provides pet owners with a compassionate and evidence-based approach to confronting Canine Cognitive Dysfunction.
