SUMMARY:Webinar - 10/30/24 - A Case Study – Animal Behaviour In Local Government: Proactive initiatives from the City of Charles Sturt - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:What do trainers\, animal management officers and dog owners have in common? A love of dogs and a need to understand animal behaviour. \nThis webinar provides a case study for the value of a collaboration between a trainer and a progressive\, proactive local government council in South Australia – the City of Charles Sturt.\nLocal government councils in Australia have legislative requirements and work extensively with their residents in order to promote responsible pet ownership. However\, it can be incredibly challenging for councils to educate the public in an area that\, let’s face it\, is rather boring to hear about. Dog owners aren’t lining up to learn about the laws for registration\, desexing\, microchipping or leash requirements\, and the educational messages can often be lost. \nAs a trainer working in local government\, Petra has been able to incorporate her understanding of animal behaviour and learning theory principles into some incredibly proactive\, informative community engagement initiatives\, including educational resources\, dog park design\, seminars and a ‘thank you’ campaign acknowledging responsible pet owners. \nThis presentation will explore how important animal management messages can be spread through an animal behaviour lens\, provide examples of where and how trainers can collaborate with local government agencies\, and showcase opportunities to share responsible pet ownership messages through their own work. \nLearning Objectives \n\nIdentify opportunities to incorporate animal management messaging as part of your training curriculum\nIdentify opportunities to partner with local government in educational initiatives for their residents\n\nPresenter: Petra Edwards \nWEBSITE LINK: https://www.petprofessionalguild.com/webinars-events/webinars/a-case-study-animal-behaviour-in-local-government-proactive-initiatives-from-the-city-of-charles-sturt/
