Canine Behaviour Problems & Aggression

Join us for an intensive, practical, and inspiring four-day course tailored for canine professionals who are serious about deepening their behavioural knowledge and hands-on skills. Led by experienced behaviour practitioners and packed with real-life case studies, this unique programme explores both common behaviour problems and complex aggression cases—blending the best of two of CIDBT’s most respected workshops.

You’ll learn how to structure professional consultations, gather and interpret behavioural history, assess emotional states, and implement behaviour change plans that truly work in the real world. From separation anxiety, excessive barking, and fear-based behaviours to aggression rooted in frustration, territorial defence, or resource guarding—you’ll gain confidence, tools, and strategies to approach every case with clarity, compassion, and professionalism.

Working in a safe, supportive, and discussion-rich environment, you’ll examine canine body language in depth, tackle myths around socialisation, and discover the psychological drivers behind behaviour patterns. You’ll also explore family dynamics, risk assessment, UK legislation relevant to aggression cases, and how to build your professional behaviour toolkit—including client communication, safety planning, and multidisciplinary collaboration.

Whether you’re a trainer, rescue professional, aspiring behaviourist or already managing complex cases, this course will elevate your practice and prepare you for the challenges of real-world canine behaviour work.

Delivered face-to-face by CIDBT’s leading tutors, this workshop is dynamic, case-led, and grounded in professional reality. Places are limited—secure your place today.

You will be awarded the ‘CIDBT Higher Certificate in ‘Canine Behaviour & Aggression Studies for Professionals’
