Vet CPD Blog

We have developed a new online course based on the successful ‘Companion Animal Behaviour and Welfare’ CD-ROM.  The course will start in September 2008, with further courses running on a monthly basis from January 2009.

Many people own pets, yet few owners understand much about why their pet behaves the way it does. This online course will provide you with information on animal behaviour, how the behaviour of companion animals is affected by the environment in which they are kept and how this can lead to the development of behavioural problems.

Species covered:

• Dogs
• Cats
• Horses
• Rabbits
• Rodents (Guinea Pigs, Rats, Mice, Hamsters, Gerbils)
• African grey parrots
• Green iguanas

Is it for Me?

• Wish to learn more about animal behaviour?
• Simply have a passion for pets?
