Sound Phobias & Sensitivities With Eileen Anderson

Sound Phobias & Sensitivities With Eileen Anderson

Eileen Anderson is a highly respected contributor to the dog training community. Her website provides educational information for trainers and pet owners. I've even seen one of her training videos used an example of 'good training' at a conference for members of the ABA and behavior analysis community.

eileenanddogs.com

Sound sensitivities are considered to be medical emergencies by some veterinary behaviorists. Helping dogs change their response to specific sounds requires more than just addressing the volume, a common misunderstanding among the dog training community. 

Her website provides owners with support for addressing individual sound sensitivities in their pets. 

Soundsensitivedogs.com/sound-services

Her book Remember Me provides pet owners with a compassionate and evidence-based approach to confronting Canine Cognitive Dysfunction.

  • Section I The Possibility of A Science of Human Behavior
  • THE MISUSE OF SCIENCE
  • SCIENCE AS A CORRECTIVE
  • THE THREAT TO FREEDOM
  • THE PRACTICAL ISSUE
  • The B.F. Skinner Foundation gave me permission to read, record and share Science and Human Behavior, first published in 1953 and which lay the groundwork for Radical Behaviorism. 
  • The description of this book on Amazon states "The psychology classic—a detailed study of scientific theories of human nature and the possible ways in which human behavior can be predicted and controlled—from one of the most influential behaviorists of the twentieth century and the author of Walden Two."
