Rescue pets can present as challenging in the clinic setting with many displaying fear, anxiety and aggression towards staff. These behaviours can make routine exams and procedures difficult and stressful for staff, pet owners and pets alike. This webinar discusses why some adopted cats and dogs are fearful, anxious and aggressive during vet visits and how to work towards resolving these issues to reduce fear and stress, improve behaviour and welfare and to minimise the risk of injury to clinic staff.

We can help to prevent common problems from developing by recognising that we are well placed to educate owners during the second vaccination appointment on how to foster emotional resilience in their dog or cat. In other words, if they put the work in at the beginning, then the chance of a behavioural problem developing reduces. Let’s talk about more than worming, nutrition and neutering!
This webinar aims to look at:
• Understanding what motivates cats and dogs and how we reinforce their behaviour – good and bad
• Advising owners on how good intentions early on will lead to good welfare outcomes in a variety of common behavioural challenges
• Recognising the communication and body language that often precedes a dog bite – it’s not about dominance!
