Is reducing your dog's fear of triggers equivalent to instilling confidence in them?
Let me pose a question to you. Let's imagine you fear the vacuum cleaner and avoid it altogether; you'd likely admit that your confidence is lacking. However, in different scenario- if you have never perceived the vacuum as a threat, does that automatically mean you're confident? I don't believe so. It's simply a vacuum. Not being afraid when there's no actual threat doesn't equate to confidence. Being unafraid in the face of a genuine threat might signify naivety rather than confidence.
Confidence involves having faith in one's own abilities. Are we teaching our dogs new abilities or simply reducing their fear and labeling it as confidence training?
In my opinion, a dog's true confidence comes from having the skills to solve their problems and from the relationship and trust we build, knowing we can handle challenges together. This leads to qualities like bravery and courage—acting despite fear.
This webinar will show you how to genuinely train confidence and bravery in our dogs, not just reduces their levels of fear.

About the Presenter:
Alex Lato (he/him) studied at Warsaw University of Life Sciences and in 2008 gained a Masters degree in Animal Science. On a practical level, his passion for dog training started from working with Border Collies in sheep herding, and then continued with companion and sport dog training in Warsaw before moving to Finland and becoming IGP Helper/decoy. To this day, he continues to be involved in IGP, in competitive obedience and more recently in mondioring.
In 2013 Alex moved to the UK and, together with his friend, Lila Zachwatowicz, he established Temperament Dogs to provide the highest standard of home boarding and training for companion dogs. His favourite, and most successful, area of expertise is helping dogs that suffer from reactivity.
He is also the creator of the Bravery Boost training programme that is designed to help dogs attain their full potential through confidence and motivation training. Bravery Boost also involves helping dogs who suffer from fears, such as noise sensitivity, those that are reactive and those that feel a general lack of confidence.
Alex is in big demand for his innovative workshops both in the UK, and overseas.
