Canine Enrichment & Play

Environmental enrichment is important for companion animals, from mice and gerbils to dogs and horses. We need to consider their natural behaviour and provide opportunities to practise these in their environment.

Ethics of Living with Companion Dogs

The amazing Dr Jessica Pierce presents a one hour lecture on the ethics of living with dogs, and asks us to consider them as captives. As such she teaches how to use sensory based enhancers to improve their quality of life and well-being.

Human Canine Interactions

The aim of the course is to provide learners with an academically challenging learning experience that enhances their work in the role of canine behaviourist or dog trainer. It is designed to build upon an existing knowledge of canine behaviour and human interactions but provide a much greater depth of understanding, that goes way beyond the subject matter. The course introduces learners to a more holistic and global perspective of human/dog interaction and encourages critical analysis of theory and personal experience.
