SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/2/24 - Fear vs. Anxiety: Does the distinction matter? - Dog iBox (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:It is common for pet parents\, trainers\, and veterinarians to lump fear and anxiety together as similar emotions. While that’s not inherently wrong\, lumping them together without understanding what sets them apart is likely an oversimplification of these complex emotional states. This webinar will tease out some of the subtle nuances of these emotions and\, even more importantly\, expand on how we can use that information to guide our management and behavior modification (and medication!) interventions to improve their specificity and effectiveness. \nPresenter: Dr. Christopher Pachel \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.dog-ibox.com/en/fear-vs-anxiety-same-or-different-and-does-it-matter.html
