What's Covered?


This module explores the critical process of conducting behavioural assessments to accurately identify underlying issues in canine behaviour. Students will learn how to gather case histories, analyse behavioural patterns, and apply evidence-based assessment techniques. The module also covers the development of structured treatment plans, incorporating ethical considerations, welfare implications, and appropriate intervention strategies. By the end of this module, students will be equipped with the skills to create tailored behaviour modification plans that support long-term success for both dogs and their owners.
