College hosts interactive behaviour workshop
central college workshop
Delegates were able to put some of the learning theories into practice.
Behaviourists share key concepts of animal learning and behaviour

An interactive companion animal behaviour workshop was held last week at the Central College of Animal Studies in Suffolk.

Veterinary surgeons, nurses and behaviourists who attended the event had the opportunity to put some of the learning theories into practice.

Experienced animal behaviourists Loni Loftus and Karen Wild shared their knowledge and experience on key concepts of how animals learn and why they behave the way they do.

They also gave thought provoking talks on the latest theories of canine origin and domestication, as well as canine evolution, selection and variation.

Ongoing workshops and training days are part of Central College’s companion animal behaviour programmes.

Such programmes would be beneficial to anyone who is interested in practising or advising on pet behavioural matters or becoming a qualified behaviourist.

For further information, contact Central College via enquiries@ccoas.org.uk
