What if dogs could make choices for themselves and self-assess their behaviour? That would be amazing.

You will also contribute to science by participating in a fun experiment. Come explore the latest advancements in dog training and be part of the second dog training revolution.

Dog Husbandry
Husbandry is defined by training behaviours that facilitate the care of an animal. Originally the term referred to livestock but soon made its way into zoological institutions.
After twenty years of teaching husbandry in zoos, group classes, ABA students, and veterinarians, we bring you this interactive seminar.
You will learn how to train for a veterinary exam, essential grooming, injections, and manipulation of your dog easily. Plus, if you need to train for new healthcare treatment, you will have the tools to start.
Husbandry-trained animals are less stressed, more cooperative, less aggressive, and save you money. Dog husbandry is the new wellness revolution.
This seminar is for clients, trainers, groomers, veterinarians, and veterinary technicians.
