Aggression is not synonymous with reactivity and stranger-directed aggression (SDA) presents unique challenges compared to other forms of aggression. As a behavior professional, you need more than basic skills and popular protocols. You need a deeper understanding of the many nuances of these cases and practical skills and strategies to stay safe and help your clients achieve their goals.

​​

In this 3-part online series, you will learn how to:

• Quickly identify the various types of SDA profiles

• Screen prospective clients

• Identify lesser-known signs of pain/illness for veterinary referrals

• Take a thorough behavior history

• Analyze, evaluate, and create practical and effective behavior plans

• Avoid problems caused by common misunderstandings of classical counterconditioning

• Keep yourself safe when meeting and working with these cases​

• Build your reinforcement skills for better outcomes

• Create customized introduction strategies that clients can follow for safe introductions

• And more!
