Instructor: Suzanne Hetts, Ph.D., CAAB & Daniel Q. Estep, Ph.D., CAAB
Systematic Desensitization and Counter Conditioning are
among the most powerful and most commonly used behavior modification
techniques for dealing with pet behavior problems.
But do you know:
- The scientific basis for these techniques?
- The difference between operant and classical counter
conditioning and when to use each?
- The best situations for using desensitization and counter
conditioning separately or together?
- Five implementation mistakes to avoid that can cause
unwanted changes in behavior?
The class will answer these questions and many more. We'll
discuss what to consider to make the techniques work most
effectively, and we'll contrast them with other behavior
modification techniques. Finally, we'll present many examples
and some selected case histories.
Here's what students have said about previous offerings:
"These telecourses are incredible and what a wonderful
resource! I would love to take more of your courses. Thanks
so much.I have learned a lot!!!"
Amy H.
"The classes were very informative, up to date, and
presented the latest information, scientific evidence and
provided additional resources to support of the material
covered. Suzanne & Dan's ( ABA's) format
was easily understandable for the novice, yet still
relevant and applicable to the experienced professional. Dan & Suzanne
kept the information flowing, encouraged dialogue, questions
and gave real life examples which clearly illustrated
and/or demonstrated the subject matter.
Suzanne & Dan make a great team - they were very positive & it
is clear, they are really passionate about what they do! Thanks!"
