15+ hours of video lectures by Dr. Melanie and step-by-step training implementation by Michael Ellis
Resilience isn’t just something a dog has. It’s something we build. But how do we develop it in a way that fosters confidence, adaptability, and emotional stability throughout a dog’s life?
In this immersive workshop, Dr. Melanie Uhde will take you deep into the neurobiology of resilience, unraveling what it truly means, the fine line between productive stress and harmful stress, and how these forces shape a dog’s brain development, emotional health, and lifelong behavior.
You'll discover:
✅ Why the brain craves challenge and how the right kind of stress builds resilience instead of anxiety.
✅ How early experiences shape coping mechanisms—and how to course-correct dogs that struggle.
✅ The physiological and emotional impact of stress—when to push and when to step back.
✅ The science behind controllability and predictability—two key factors in creating resilience without overwhelm.
Knowledge without application is just theory. That’s why Michael Ellis will bring the science to life with step-by-step training exercises, showing you exactly how to develop resilience in real-world training scenarios.
You'll learn:
🔹 How to build resilience from puppyhood to adulthood, with age-appropriate challenges that enhance learning.
🔹 Practical drills to introduce stress in a way that fosters adaptability rather than shutdown.
🔹 How to refine intensity and progression to keep dogs engaged and growing.
🔹 How to help a dog navigate stress that builds resilience.
✔️ Dog trainers who want a deeper understanding of stress and resilience.
✔️ Dog owners who want to build emotional stability and confidence in their dogs.
✔️ Working dog handlers looking to enhance performance and mental endurance in demanding situations.
✔️ Anyone fascinated by cutting-edge neuroscience and its real-world applications in dog behavior.
Walk away with a science-based blueprint for training that builds strong, adaptable, and emotionally sound dogs.
