Unusual Canine Behaviour The difference between unusual and abnormal behaviour is examined and possible causes are discussed.

Avoiding Problem Behaviour
The thinking behind this module is to equip students with the
ability to provide their dogs with the required social environment to
avoid common problem behaviours developing. Prevention is always better
than cure.
