Upcoming Seminars

Seminars and Speeches By Patricia B. Mcconnell, Ph.D.

Patricia McConnell, Ph.D. 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!"
