Every Dog Behavior and Training
Health and its Role in Behavior Problems As our dear pets grow older, sometimes they start showing behavior changes. Let us explore common reasons for behavior change in older pets, as well as cognitive dysfunction syndrome in dogs and cats.
Speakers:
Linda Randall DVM, KPA-CTP, Tag Teach 3 (she/her)
Linda Randall, DVM, is a certified professional dog trainer and a veterinarian. As a veterinarian, she focuses on the roles of physical and mental health in dogs and how these affect the ways in which they behave. Linda is certified through The Karen Pryor Academy and is a Level 3 certified TAG Teach trainer. She is an active member of the International Association of Animal Behavior Consultants and the Animal Training Academy. An internationally sought presenter, Linda has contributed to numerous professional training events, including One Mind Dogs, The Bitey End of the Dog, The Lemonade Conference, and the Association of Professional Dog Trainer's annual conference. Her focus has been on the role of Trauma Informed / Trauma Assumed care in animals and people and Race, Positive Reinforcement, and Kids. Linda’s many experiences in life have helped her understand how compassion, generosity, and a gentle sense of humor can help us navigate the world and create a positive impact on those around us.
Kathie Nurena MD, KPA-CTP, CNWI (she/her)
Kathie graduated for Albert Einstein College of Medicine. She completed her Family Medicine Residency at Stamford Hospital. She is now faculty at that program, with an interest in social determinants of health and scholarly activity. She also graduated from Karen Pryor Academy (KPA-CTP) and earned her Certified Nose Work Instructor (CNWI) certification. She currently teaches nosework classes at Alert K9.
When Connecticut instituted a law mandating cross reporting of animal abuse and child abuse, Kathie helped organize the first educational lecture for animal control officers, Department of Children and Families social works, and others in the state.
She has long appreciated how the principles of learning theory and the positive reinforcement principles she learning in animal training were relevant to her work with human learners. And, perhaps, some of the theories in the medical literature may be useful to animal trainers
