Canine Welfare - The Human Element - Human Behaviour Change for Animals - Tamzin Furtado
By Ann Milligan
Tamzin Furtado's presentation from the 4th International Dog Health Workshop considers how human behaviours affect welfare.
"There are good reasons why we should better understand human behaviour:
It’s the root cause of most welfare issues– people doing, or not doing, certain care, management or training practices. It can help campaigns and work with clients (vets, trainers) to improve compliance, rapport and efficiency. We are used to considering animal behaviour, what about the human animal?"
