The new edition of the Constructional Aggression Treatment (CAT for Dogs) seminar DVD set, recorded in Chicago in June 2008, will be available for sale at the SPCA of Texas seminar.  
 
CAT for Dogs was featured in Whole Dog Journal in May, 2008 in an article by Pat Miller, CPDT, CDBC, APDT, author of The Power of Positive Dog Training. 
 
Research done at the University of North Texas suggests that classical treatments for aggression may have us all barking up the wrong tree. Dr. Jesús Rosales-Ruiz and Kellie Snider have devised a shaping-based, operant approach to treating aggression in clients' homes that is producing stronger and much faster results than classical positive desensitization and counter conditioning.  >>>
   
Testimonials
I found the weekend seminar to be a breath of fresh air and am very excited to finally find something that makes complete sense to me.
~Rita Martinez, California

 

It really does work! ... it was really easy, for the facilitators and the client, who was very happy...We ended today's work with all of us sitting in the family room with the dog off leash and very comfortable.  
~Diane Chandler, Illinois

 

I attended Kellie's seminar awhile back and started using the Switching Off treatment [CAT] with my foster dogs.  Much to my delight, it worked perfectly!
