Join us and Anne McBride on 13th August!

The aim of the talk is to increase understanding of the range of causes of problematic repetitive behaviour, the importance of observation and history taking, and to help veterinary, trainer, and behaviourist colleagues provide appropriate advice to owners on preventative strategies and the need to seek help early should problems start to occur.

River McDonald, an APBC Full Clinical Animal Behaviourist (CAB) member is currently undertaking PhD research into walking equipment design and its impact on behaviour and movement in dogs. They are based at SRUC in Edinburgh.

They are looking to recruit as many U.K. based dog owners as possible to fill in an online survey about their dog's walking equipment and would be very grateful if you could lend your time by taking part in the survey yourself.

You can find out more information on this research and the survey itself by following this link: https://bit.ly/3Gzx1kZ

Any additional questions can be directed to River.McDonald@sruc.ac.uk.

Thank you for your support in advancing our knowledge on this under-researched area!

Clinical Animal Behaviourists (CABs) work with animals that are demonstrating all types of undesirable, inappropriate, problematic or dangerous behaviour on veterinary referral.

Animal Behaviour Technicians (ABTs) design and implement programmes to provide preventative and first-aid behavioural advice. ABTs work with Clinical Animal Behaviourists or Veterinary Behaviourists in the implementation of behaviour modification plans.
