Animal behaviour is a growing field in Veterinary Medicine. This course will give the AHT student the skills needed to feel comfortable dealing with animal behaviour issues such as training methods, behaviour problems and animal temperament assessment.
This course, a continuation of Behaviour 1 and 2, continues to develop the student's knowledge and skills in applied animal behaviour. The emphasis in the theory component in this course is an in-depth study of specific common behaviour problems in dogs and cats. The practical component in the course may include guest speakers, field trips, case studies and advanced dog training skills.
