Canine Self-Medication: Short Online Course
Psychotherapeutic Remedies, Behavioural Problems
& Where to Start
Where to start, reading responses and working with behavioural problems at home and working in rescue centres
Course Overview
Often it is difficult to know where to start. This lesson introduces you to the obvious and not so obvious behaviours given by an animal, that indicate what remedies may be needed to begin the session.
Behavioural issues in dogs can manifest in many ways, such as reactivity, anxiety, fear, or excessive barking. It is important therefore to determine if there are any underlying hidden physical causes that are exacerbating a troubled past. This self-medicative journey may take you to the obvious or the so obvious. By understanding possible hidden causes along side past traumatic experiences, influencing your dog’s behaviour, your will have an opportunity to help free them from longstanding behavioural issues.
In this course, we delve into the powerful influences of psychotherapeutic essential oils, and how they can help the emotional and mental health of our canine companions. You will gain valuable insights and practical knowledge to positively impact the lives of dogs coping with trauma. The course is not just about addressing symptoms; instead it goes to the very core of their emotional experience, providing a pathway to healing and resilience. Recognising stress, what causes it, and how to alleviate it is crucial for our animals.
IMIM techniques involve a keen analysis of body language (different to classical behavioural training), seeking to unravel puzzles by considering various factors, including behavioural clues.
The course is packed with live canine sessions taking you on an in-depth journey into Applied Zoopharmacognosy and the IMIM techniques.
