Understanding behaviour is a vital aspect of handling any animals
" Mr Douglas is a fantastic tutor, I have learnt so much from him. He gave comments that aided in understanding and was always positive and encouraging....makes me feel not so distant. His tutoring made me strive harder."- Lisa
All animals have very different and specialised abilities that result from both innate programming and learned behaviours. Understanding the processes behind any exhibited behaviour or action can greatly assist people in correctly and safely handling the animal. The study of animal behaviour provides a foundation for animal training, or more generally, animal care. It also provides very real insights and a foundation for understanding human behaviour. During the course of your studies you may choose to focus your learning on a particular animal or group of animals. This course is highly relevant to pet owners, vet assistants, zoo employees, wildlife carers or anyone working with animals in any situation.
