Speaker: Ken McCort (Recorded February 2, 2012)
Details: This presentation will look at the behavior of terriers and the motor patterns that make them behave differently than other breeds. Although there is sometimes a genetic predisposition to behave like their ancestors, there are many things we trainers can do to get them to function as household pets. This presentation will examine the history, behavior and training of this group of dogs.
