FEAR FREE: CHANGE IS POSSIBLE….It Begins with You!
No one gets into the field of rescue because they want to cause harm to an animal. But sometimes for the sake of “getting it done” we are causing the very animals we save to end up dealing with fear. We can do better.
Find out what YOU can do to be part of a better future for all the animals.
05:15pm - Dr. John Ciribassi DVM, Dipl. ACVB (Click for Bio)
FEAR BASED AGGRESSION
Aggression is the most common behavior problem presented to veterinary behaviorists. In many, if not most of these cases, a definite fear component seems to be the driving force behind the aggressive displays. This presentation is meant to clarify terms, differentiate possible diagnoses of aggression, and offer thoughts on treatment of fear-associated aggression.
07:15pm - Steve Frost KPA CTP, SBA, CPBT-KA (Click for Bio)
FORCE-FREE TRAINING
Using punishment to train is sometimes assumed to be the only way to get control over an animal. But punishment causes anxiety and creates more fear, increasing the probability of aggression. Learn gentle handling techniques and humane training methods that are effective, reduce fear, and decrease the risk of fear-related biting.
