Seminars and Speeches By Patricia B. Mcconnell

Patricia gives speeches and seminars on behavior and training around the country. No matter what the topic, the focus is always on understanding both ethology and learning theory to humanely and effectively improve our relationships with other animals. Her talks are well balanced between good science, practical training advice and lots of laughter. Her seminars always include lots of hands-on demonstrations and audience involvement, whether the topic is "Diagnosing and Treating Canine Aggression" or "Throw Away Your Leash!"


Here's what participants have to say about some of Patricia's seminars:

"Dr. McConnell has a wealth of knowledge, good humor and awesome slides and videos. The seminar was just excellent!"

"Patricia has an ability to explain complex concepts simply, memorably and with humor. I'd come again in a minute!"


"Two days weren't enough! Wish we'd had a week!"

"I attended one of Patricia McConnell's seminars is Las Cruces, NM and it has paid off tremendously in my household of five dogs.  After a number of years of fighting between Skylar and Thai Thai, Skylar now consistently ignores Thai Thai's rude behavior and runs to the cookie jar instead of fighting!  I had tried other trainers and other techniques but they had not worked.  If I see a fight begin to escalate in the yard, I can yell 'cookie' and Skylar will run into the house to the cookie jar with Thai hot on her heals and wait for her reward!  Thank you, Dr. McConnell, for helping restore peace to my house and reducing my vet bills!"                                            Ann, Las Cruces, New Mexico
