Hi all,

I’m excited to announce that I will be doing another webinar through the Fenzi Dog Sports Academy this Thursday, March 21st! This time, the topic will be medical issues and behavior – how physical problems can impact your dog’s behavior, and when to be suspicious of an underlying medical problem when you’re dealing with anxiety or aggression.

The webinar is open to anyone who wants to sign up, so feel free to join me if you’re interested!

**Note: you DO NOT have to attend the webinar live, if it doesn’t fit with your schedule.  As long as you’re registered, a recording will be available for you to watch at your convenience.  But, you do need to make sure to register BEFORE the webinar date, as it won’t be available for purchase afterwards.**

Cost for the webinar is $19.95.  Registration link is here: FDSA webinar page

Medical vs. Behavioral: How Do We Tell the Difference?

Thursday, March 21st – 3 pm Pacific time (6 pm Eastern)

We all know that medical issues can influence behavior. Dogs who don’t feel well can be cranky, or more anxious than normal – just like humans! But what about less obvious “red flags” for a physical problem that you might not be aware of?

In this webinar, we’ll talk about the following:

• What a routine veterinary visit can tell us… and what it can’t!
• How pain, GI discomfort, and hormonal issues can impact aggression and anxiety
• Determining if abnormal repetitive behaviors are compulsive or neurologic
• Behavioral side effects of common medications

I’ll also give some practical suggestions for talking to your veterinarian about these issues, as well as possible diagnostic and treatment options to consider if you think something might be wrong.
