True expertise requires going beyond instrumental and classical conditioning, and understanding everything possible about each individual animal and species we’re training.

Ethology is the study of animal behavior and its evolution, and is a key factor in having the deepest possible understanding of animals.

• How do animals see and interact with their world?
• What does this mean in terms of how they behave?
• How will this change and enhance your understanding of behavior?
• How can this understanding dramatically improve your ability to help animals?

This course, and the exploration of these questions will forever change how you think about the animals we live and work with.
