Special guest lecturer:
Turid Rugaas is a Norwegian author and dog trainer. In 1992 she started educating other dog trainers and giving seminars. Since then she has conducted workshops in 12 different countries with students from 24 countries.
Turid has published several books and DVDs including the popular best seller On Talking Terms with Dogs. She has identified some 30 calming signals to explain the communication of dogs, that have since helped many dog trainers, behaviourists and ethologists understand dog language.
On 27th Nov, 2017, Rugaas was awarded the King’s Badge of Honour, by the Norwegian King, HM Harald V|I for her contributions over the last 40 years in the field of canine behaviour.
Rugaas has been focusing on developing new methods and natural methods of training to solve behavioural problems. These activities includes:
- nosework and activities activating the celebral cortex via the dogs natural curiosity
- using the dogs natural social skills to develop in neural networks
- focusing on understanding dog communication
Rugaas has observed and documented several signals that the dogs use in their communications, thus being the “founder” of the expression calming signals.
