Dog & cat behaviour course


I'm currently doing a 2 day Peter Neville course on dog behaviour, he also talked loads about cat bahaviour too. Very interesting. He used loads of pics of cats / kittens showing kitten behaviour etc. He had some real cuties in there

Re: Dog & cat behaviour course


It was primarily a dog behaviour course, but he also specialises in cat behaviour & used lots of cat slides to demonstrate how a mother communicates with her offspring & how the messages are sent out. & how those early messages have huge meanings.It's fascinating.

Started off talking about wolves / packs & how Wolf packs work together & the misconception of how body language of animals is often misunderstood. Then talked about how groups of dogs developed from the wolf / then types / then breeds.

Then about communication messages & the importance of being exposed to as many things as possible from a young age. (& the reasons why) This was demonstrated in short films of wolf behaviour/ slides of cats.
