Our first Beyond Obedience laboratory is here, and you’re the one doing the detective work. In Solving Behavior Puzzles, you’ll work through real dog behavior scenarios and piece together the clues to figure out what’s really happening, why it might be happening, and what you can do about it. This is not a lecture. You won’t just be told the answers. You’ll investigate. Discuss. Test your reasoning. Compare approaches. Make decisions. Along the way, you’ll practice skills like: 🧩 Identifying patterns, triggers, and context 🎯 Connecting behavior to possible causes 🛠️ Choosing appropriate training strategies 🔄 Adjusting your approach when the first idea doesn’t work Dogs are welcome, but they aren’t required. The behavior puzzles happen through hands-on activities, discussion, scenarios, and problem-solving with other dog people. Come curious and leave thinking like a trainer.
