The School of Canine Science The School of Canine Science is Nando Brown and Jo-Rosie Haffenden. Formerly the Head of Training and Head of Behaviour for the Institute of Modern Dog Trainers and the stars of Channel 4 series Rescue Dog to Super Dog. Not content with being ace presenters and offering a tease of topics, the pair decided it was time to work independently and to provide a complete range of innovative courses including superb material, practical application as well packs for participants to take away and work from. EVOLVE: Every participant comes from a place of previous knowledge and experience. The School of Canine Science looks to help participants evolve that is to develop and enhance their existing knowledge into something they can sell professionally. This includes updating old theories with the latest science as well as ensuring participants know all the facts. INSPIRE: Nando and Jo are both extremely exciting and bold presenters known for their work on channel 4 as well as their internationally successful seminars. But the School of Canine Science is also about teaching participants to inspire their clients. Carefully selected exercises and explanations are taught to ensure participants know how to apply the theory and get their clients inspired to work with their dogs. THRIVE: The School of Canine Science wants all our students to have evolved knowledge and inspiring practical skills. Ultimately our job is to ensure your business thrives.

what to expect from our Courses PRIOR TO ATTENDANCE: Prior to attendance all participants will receive a pdf booklet (this booklet) with their course details inside. This will include prior training recommendations (videos) along with practical information such as time, dates, venue information and the food situation. Where possible it will include hotel (dog and non dog) information as well as any health and safety notices regarding handling. The booklet will also include a bio of the tutor as well as a full itinerary of the course. DURING THE SEMINARS, COURSES AND TALKS: A healthy happy cohort is of upmost importance at The School of Canine Science. As such, when teaching theory courses tutors will ensure participants have a comfortable workspace to learn on and continuous access to snacks and water - which we know is pivotal in learning! Digital versions of presentations are emailed 48 hours prior to the course. Tutors also ensure we break at least three times during the learning day to stretch as well as for breaks and food. The tutors also work hard to answer all questions and differentiate within tasks and lessons to ensure that each participant leaves having learnt something new without being overwhelmed. We also (even in the theory courses) usually have our 4 dogs with us to demonstrate training techniques as well as keep the atmosphere light and friendly. AFTERCARE MATERIAL: Too many courses make complete sense at the time but then when you look through your notes afterwards half the material turns to brain sludge. At the School of Canine Science, each participant gets sent a full workbook so they can continue evolving their knowledge and skills afterwards. This includes notes on course material, what to read now references as well as How-To video reminders for practical that has been trained or discussed. Day courses run 10am - 5pm. Lunch, snacks, coffee and tea is provided. We aim to ensure all participants are warm, comfortable and happy too. We ensure a friendly and non judgmental environment is provided and that there is plenty of opportunity to ask questions and share opinions. We aim to go for our dinner on day one of each course so that all course participants have an opportunity to mingle and network. Try and keep your diary free.

COURSE DETAILS Topic: Psychopharmacology and Voluntary Vet Behaviour Presenters: Nando Brown and Jo-Rosie Haffenden Level: Day 1 is red (aimed at practicing trainers/behaviourists/vet staff) Day 2 is amber (aimed at dog professionals wishing to teach these behaviours) Date: October 24th and 25th 2016 Location: Canon Brook Golf Club - Elizabeth Way, Harlow, CM195BE Price: £145 for full 2 day course (10am - 5pm) £80 per day (days can be booked separately) spectator + £ 20 for a handler spot on day two About the course: Jo and Nando explore a more veterinary focused side to behaviour and training. Whilst it is not compulsory for behaviourists to understand the in’s and out’s of drug use in dogs, it is useful to expand knowledge in this area when it relates to behaviour. More and more frequently vets are prescribing medication that relates to fears, phobias, repetitive behaviour patterns and general anxiety along with aggression and canine cognitive dysfunction. Day one covers the broad basics of neurobiology, how different neurotransmittors can effect behaviour. We look at drug use, when and why drugs help dogs suffering with more mental based illnesses and disorders and what triggers we have to watch for which may suggest we need to refer a client back to the vet. We cover what the FDA approved drugs are as well as what extra-label commonly prescribed drugs are on the market. We look at how these different types of drugs effect the brain and the future of psychopharmacology.

COURSE DETAILS Day two focuses on voluntary vet behaviour and aims to teach a new protocol when examining and treating canine patients. Handlers are given specific behaviours to work on prior to attendance and during the day we work to take these to a higher level. The overall aim is to establish a dialogue whereby the dog can tell us when it hurts, when the procedure is too stressful or when the dog isnt comfortable with an intrusive exam. We also look at specific veterinary behaviours such as teaching dogs to open mouth on cue, present their ears for examination or lift a paw or tail. These behaviour further ensure vet visits are predictable and examinations are safe and more pleasant for the dog. Food: Tea and coffee facilities as well as lots of water and some delicious and healthy snacks will be provided. A delightful lunch will also be provided for you within the cost at the Golf Club. Socialising and networking: Whilst there will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions and discuss topics during exercises, networking and socialising isn’t possible during the course of the actual seminar. As such you are all invited to dinner with Jo-Rosie and Nando Brown on the first night of the course. Venue to be confirmed. Dinner will give you the chance to turn the people around you into proper business contacts and to discuss and chat about opinions and backgrounds in more detail.
