Introduction to Companion Animal Behaviour
5th January 2009
What's Covered?
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
