    Seminar : OCD and the consequences of living in domestic-settings


    For the first time in Québec, attend our seminar by special guest Lara Joseph, specialist in the behaviour and training of exotic animals!

    Lara Joseph is the owner of The Animal Behavior Center an international, educational center teaching people internationally the approaches in using behaviour analysis and positive reinforcement training with animals, focusing on exotics and undomesticated. The Animal Behavior Center also has an array of resident animals and temporarily houses animals that come in for training from zoos and wildlife education centers.

    She specializes in the training of birds and is an expert in problems and behaviours related to being kept in a captive environments. She has worked in shelters and zoos, and sits on the board of many organizations to improve the well-being and conservation species around the world.

    Lara Joseph is known for her dynamic presentations, her simple explanations and her practical and useful tips that apply to anyone working or living with animals!

     

    The first day of the seminar will be on abnormal repetitive behaviours

    While some obsessive behaviours are easy to spot, some others are more subtle. In both cases, they have a direct impact on the animal’s well-being and physical health. While they may seem counterproductive, these behaviours have function and serve a purpose for the animal. As their caregivers and guardians and for their mental and physical well being, we need to understand why these behaviours exist in the first place.

     

    The second day will be on the living conditions of animals in captivity in both home-settings or naturalized-settings

    Learn how being able to make choices, to have control and to have access to some challenges have a direct impact to improve the animal’s mental and physical well being.

    What are abnormal repetitive behaviours :

    Abnormal repetitive behaviours are more common with prey and exotic animals due to their inability to escape feared situations due to confinement. We can learn to identify more subtle behaviours, reinforcers, and aversives with prey and exotics. They are harder to care for than most domestic animals because we have many more replacement behaviours to incorporate.

    Having the ability to work with undomesticated and exotic animals from wildlife education, zoo, and shelter settings gives the opportunity to use applied behaviour analysis with multiple species. Training and putting behaviour modification plans in place for undomesticated species and prey animals fine tunes our training skills through the observation and use of identifying reinforcers and potential aversives. The protocols derived from those studies have been applied to other animals like cats and dogs with great success!

     

    Don’t miss this one of a kind two day seminar!

    Thanks to her years of experience working with exotic birds, Lara Joseph will present this two day seminar, focusing on the dissemination of the scientific approach of behaviour analysis into the causes and behaviour modification plans of numerous species showing exhibiting abnormal repetitive behaviours.

    Detailed behaviour modification plans will be explained showing the use of choice, control, and complexities in the animal’s daily environment. This workshop will also review case studies and effective training implementation! Improve the quality of lives of animals in efficient ways! Help your human and dog clients with real solutions, real strategies and real plans never presented before in the Eastern part of Canada.

     

    ✓  Learn how to help your clients and the animals in your care dealing with problems for which there are very few resources!
