This presentation will cover the following key learning points:

  • Rescue dogs – from this country and overseas. What can we expect?
  • Canine Behaviour – Body Language and Interpretation. This section aims to offer tools for understanding and interpreting what emotions our canine patients may be experiencing by observing their behaviour.
  • How do we deal with “sticky” situations? What can we do to keep everybody safe and facilitate handling of a “difficult” dog? Some hints and tips for improving the experience of the situation.
  • What can we do to help these individuals in the future? How can we change the dog’s perspective of these situations? Providing some tools for teaching owners how to help prepare their rescue dog for veterinary care.
