Filmed in 2013 for Dog and Bone, this exciting new 6-DVD collection records Ian's three-day seminar which highlights a number of diverse theoretical and practical issues that are severely holding back puppy-raising and dog training.
Science Based Dog Training (with feeling): A 2013 three-day seminar
by Dr Ian Dunbar
Day 1 We continue to waste Puppyhood!
Dr Dunbar looks at how to predict and prevent the many problems that are created in puppyhood: house-soiling, destructive chewing, excessive barking, separation anxiety, fearfulness and aggression. He explains how puppy prevention of behaviour problems is as easy as it is enjoyable.

Day 2 Learning theory redux and binary verbal feedback
Learning theory was laboratory-generated from studies with computers, very different than when people train dogs off-leash and at a distance. Dr Dunbar explains how, using our voice as feedback, we can radically increase the speed and effectiveness of learning, achieving absolute compliance without fear or pain.

- How to turn distractions into high-level life rewards
- How to motivate your dog to the max
- How to convert problems: barking, jumping up, pulling and running away, into ultra-mega life rewards
