The massive increase in the pet dog population in recent years has highlighted the need for canine caregivers to have access to the best information to help them raise dogs who are able to cope with domestic life. The veterinary profession has an important role in providing that information and this course will help practice staff to fulfil this role.
This course will explore the theory behind creating emotionally intelligent dogs who can adapt to the challenges of domestic life and live long and happy lives with their human caregivers. There will be an explanation of the health triad approach to behavioural medicine and how the breeding and rearing of puppies can be used to optimise emotional health. The role of the veterinary practice in providing appropriate information for prospective and new canine caregivers will be discussed. Practical tips will be given for supporting caregivers and helping their pets on their journey to being confident, sociable and adaptable dogs.
