In July 2019, I gave a live webinar on dogs and sound to a sold-out crowd through Linda Case’s The Science Dog. In June 2024, I presented an updated version, translated live to the German training organization IBH. Practicing the updated presentation gave me the opportunity to record it for future audiences.
I am pleased to announce that my recorded webinar Sound Decisions: Helping Your Dog Cope with a Noisy Human World is again available for purchase.
Not only that, but I have reduced the price for my other sound webinar: Listen Up: An Evidence-Based Assessment of Sound Products for Dogs. And I’ve created a “bundle” where you can buy them both for a further discount.
I really want this information to get to trainers and the public, so the prices are super low.
About the Webinars
This subject matter is mostly unknown in the dog training community. Misinformation abounds.
There are so many aspects of the physics of sound we need to know about for successful dog training and management. Trainers need to understand basics about sound science to perform desensitization and counterconditioning effectively with client dogs. They need to be informed about the science of sound to help with management solutions. They need to be able to identify bogus products and claims.
Trainers and pet owners alike often search for methods to protect their dogs from bothersome sounds. Many of the solutions commonly offered for these problems are not supported by evidence.
We need to approach sound with the same scientific rigor that we do behavior science. I’m uniquely qualified on the subject. I have a master’s degree in music from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music and a master’s degree in applied science (acoustics) from the University of Arkansas at Little Rock. My research and thesis were on active noise control.
You can read the descriptions of the two webinars on my store site, but in short:
- Sound Decisions focuses on the ways we can help our dogs who are sensitive to sound. It’s about 60 minutes long.
- Listen Up focuses on products including ultrasonic toys, ultrasonic punishment devices, music for relaxation, barriers to sound such as earmuff-type products, and more. It includes demos of what really comes out of some of the ultrasonic toys and aversive devices. It’s about 90 minutes long.
Both cover a lot of ground!
Both webinars have guaranteed access for at least a year your enrollment date, and probably much longer.
If You Purchased “Listen Up” from Me Previously
Listen Up formerly sold for $30, which is more than the new price of the bundle of two webinars. If you purchased Listen Up from me, I’m happy to provide a code for free access to Sound Decisions. Contact me here on my blog or on Facebook Messenger through my personal Facebook account. I’ll need the email address you used when you purchased Listen Up to verify your previous order.
