Dog Behaviour and Handling

  • Dog Behaviour: The Basics
  • Catching Roaming Dogs
  • Animal-friendly restraint techniques

It is critically important that dogs in your care feel safe, comfortable and are handled correctly. This not only protects their welfare, but keeps animals and staff safe and maximises the success of procedures. Owners and communities are more likely to welcome, or seek out, veterinary care if the experience is positive for the animals and people involved.
