Dr Karen Overall

by sands904 on 8/13/2011 at 6:52 PM in Seminars

I just got back from Dr Karen Overall's seminar "From Leashes to Neurons". This was only day one but it was fascinating! She started by discussing the biology of a dog's (an our) brain, how we learn, how certain pharmaceuticals can help dogs with extreme anxiety or fear issues.

This was fascinating for me because of my training background as well as the fact that I have two very anxious and fearful dogs. Lance has been so afraid since the July fireworks that he still will not walk around the neighborhood. It has been well over 3 weeks since our crazy neighbors have stopped shooting things off but he is still too afraid to leave the yard. Why is it that people do not realize (or maybe just don't care) the long-lasting effect that sooting off fireworks (illegally, I might add) can have on our beloved pets?...

Anyways, she is great and I learned a lot! I cannot wait until tomorrows talk to see what else I can take away to help my dog's!
