Every behaviour leaves clues, and we want to share them with you.
We often have dogs staying with us and there is always so much to share, so we’re beginning the first Honest Hounds Case File - a live session to allow you to follow the journey of Jess P’s foster dogs, Daphne and Fred.
Inspired by the detectives of Mystery Inc (because their names were just too fitting), this isn’t a webinar about finding quick fixes or magical training techniques, it’s about learning how to investigate behaviour with curiosity instead of assumptions.
Together we’ll examine the evidence exactly as we do in real behaviour cases.
Case File 1001
Subjects: Daphne & Fred
Presenting Complaint: reactivity, separation issues, resource guarding
Known Evidence: bite history
Unknown Variables: what will they act like living within an existing pack?
Working Hypothesis: Unmet biological needs, no role models, negative cultural norms
Intervention: confidence building, good role models
Outcome: To be determined…
During this webinar we’ll explore:
The history each dog arrived with.
Our first observations and behavioural assessment.
What clues stood out immediately.
Which common assumptions we ruled out.
The hypotheses we developed and why.
The biological, emotional and environmental factors shaping their behaviour.
The interventions we’ve chosen and the reasoning behind them.
How we’ll measure progress over the coming weeks.
At Honest Hounds we ask an important question:
“What is this behaviour trying to tell us?”
You’ll see how Jess P approaches a new case, balancing science, observation and practical experience while remaining willing to change direction whenever the evidence points somewhere new.
Whether you’re working with your own dog, supporting clients, or simply fascinated by behaviour, you can learn a framework you can use in every case you encounter:
The Behaviour Detective Method
Gather the clues.
Rule out assumptions.
Build a hypothesis.
Test it.
Revise it.
Less “solve the dog.” More “solve the puzzle.”
We hope you’ll join us for the first chapter in the Honest Hounds Case Files.
