Canine Connect

As a veterinarian with a wealth of training experience, Dr. Michelle will talk through some of the causes of anxiety disorders, as well as possible management and treatment plans. There’ll be exploration some of the current scientific information around these conditions, and the crucial role of the trainer in changing behaviour for dogs with mental health challenges. You’ll learn to identify signs that behavioural modification is being hampered by the neural system in overdrive, as well as signs a medication plan could be helpful. We’ll cover real life case studies of things that have gone well, as well as the reality of cases that have been tough to manage.

Whether you own a dog with mental health challenges, work as a professional coaching others who need support in addressing anxiety in a dog, or are a veterinary professional that wants to better understand aspects of behavioural illness in dogs, this one’s for you!

This seminar is aimed at pet professionals, vet professionals or dedicated dog owners.

  • The nervous system including how memory works
