I use a holistic approach to animal behaviour. Here are some of the main subjects that are used to help you and your horse or dog reach your full potential:
Evolution- How did the horse/dog evolve to the animal we recognise today and have his behavioural needs changed?
The Equine/Canine Ethogram- Understanding normal, wild animal behaviour is key to recognising problems in our domesticated pets. Learning how to enable your horse/dog to fulfill his full repertoire of behaviours is key to your first consultation.
Learning Theory- How horses/dogs learn and how we can teach them using only reward based training.
Physiology- Understanding what is happening inside the body, including the physiology of behaviour and normal sleep patterns. |
Welfare- The effects of stress and the causes of poor welfare.
Cognitive Therapy- Just one technique used to help change the way your horse copes with previously challenging situations. |
