Just when you thought you knew everything you needed to know about genetics, here comes epigenetics! Current research shows us that there are many more factors that play a role in the physiology and behavior of puppies than just DNA from their parents. Find out what else can be involved in creating a puppy who is confident, resilient, and a bold learner.


Objectives:

1. To have a basic understanding of DNA and inheritable traits

2. To develop a new understanding of the role of Epigenetics

3. To learn how pre-natal, peri-natal, and neonatal experiences can have an effect on behavior

4. To recognize the behavior problems that can be associated with problems in early development

5. To learn how play therapy can be an effective treatment in many behavior problems
