Thank you, Sharon! I've just signed up. The below info works - here is also a link to the dog version. https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/behavior/modifying-aggressive-dog-behavior/ For wild primates, the 'sub-threshold' behavior would be moving away from the human - so you'd present the stimulus at a far enough distance where they don't move away.

Modifying Aggressive Dog Behavior - Whole Dog Journal<https://www.whole-dog-journal.com/behavior/modifying-aggressive-dog-behavior/>
Whole Dog Journal contributor Pat Miller writes on modifying aggressive dog behavior. ¡°Constructional Aggression Treatment¡± is a promising new approach.

I'm also happy to chat with anyone who needs some specific ideas or training protocols. I've written training protocols for projects for Northeastern, MIT, University of Glasgow, etc.

Thanks again! I loved the session and can't wait to learn more!
