Behavioural problems are the most common class of veterinary concerns that pets will face. These are the problems that result in relinquishment and euthanasia of otherwise healthy, young animals, and yet they are the problems for which there is the least formal training. Building on a series of introductory talks given last year, this 2 day series will focus on the special topics germane to shelters, trainers, veterinarians and veterinary nurses and support staff. This year, the formal lecture series includes a hands on lab. The lectures are designed in 45 minute topical sessions that encourage questions and group discussion.The intent of this series is to give participants information that they can use immediately in their daily lives.

This two day seminar has been approved for 14 hours ABVMA CE credits, 10 CEUs for CPDT-KA, 5.5 CEUs for CBCC-KA and 17 CEUs for IAABC.

Harmonious State Training is offering a Bomb Proof Indications workshop with Danielle Todd CMT on April 19th in Leduc, Alberta.

Danielle's experience in detection started in 1998 while attending dog training school and learning intensive tracking for human scent and narcotic detection. Then she went on to train three of her own German Shepherds in tracking as well as narcotic detection. In 2009 she attended an International Association of Bomb Technicians & Investigators conference with Police K9 and Military with her Belgian Malinois Vader, and successfully completed a training workshop in advanced explosives and terrorists activities. She also p assed a K9 explosives course consisting of military commercial explosives detection field training, a K9 based detection class, and a final exam. In 2013 she learned that detection had been brought to the pet world as a sport in which anyone can participate. Danielle wanted to help people continue to build relationships with their dogs through detection. Danielle has hosted and instructed Sport Detection seminars, fun matches, group classes and competed in SDDA Trials. She has titled her Malinois in Advanced and her Brittany Spaniel to a Championship level as well as her up and coming German Shepherd to the Advanced level. Danielle loves being a part of helping people experience this fun sport of a dog doing what they love, using their nose.
