Never one to sit back and relax, in 2017 Dr Ian Dunbar was on a mission to re-evaluate the world of dog training and came to the UK to share his views. He presented four days of seminars for Dog and Bone (www.dog-and-bone.co.uk). These seminars are now available as four sets of 2 DVDs.

Day 4 - Behaviour Programs for Dog Professionals
The world of dog husbandry and training is in dire need of another quantum leap! The time is long overdue for all dog professions (breeders, veterinarians, pet store retailers, trainers and shelters/rescues) to utterly re-evaluate and re-focus their practices and to champion a combined focus on educating prospective and new puppy owners vis a vis puppy raising, so that puppies stay in their original homes instead of being surrendered to shelters as adolescents. So believes Ian Dunbar. In this seminar, he shares his vision of the future where dog professionals take collective responsibility for creating a happier relationship between dogs and their owners.
This 1-day lecture is aimed at dog professionals but may also be of interest to pet dog owners.
