Barking from the Wooftops Podcast

16/03/2023

Join Certified Dog Behaviour Consultant, Jim Gillies, and world-leading expert on animal behaviour, Dr. Susan Friedman on the difference between impulse control and stimulus control in dogs. Do you find yourself wondering whether your dog's behaviour issues are a result of a lack of impulse control or or as a consequence of stimulus control?

In this short video, we explore the critical differences between impulse control and stimulus control in dogs. We delve into the nuances of each concept, discussing how they relate to a dog's behaviour, and the role each plays in modifying that behaviour. We also examine the common misconceptions around impulse control and how it can often be mistaken for stimulus control.
