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, the fourth of a series on the subject of applied animal behaviour, focuses on the integration of animal behaviour into small animal veterinary practice with an emphasis on the role of the AHT. The course will have a 'problem based learning' format, whereby much of the material covered in the course would be case-based with groups of students researching and reporting specific cases.
Prerequisite: Admission to the Animal Health Technology program, successful completion of ANHT 209
