Description
Presentation Details:
Trainers and veterinarians alike share concerns about the frequency and intensity of aggressive and fearful behaviours related to routine veterinary procedures, basic husbandry, and general handling amongst pet dogs and cats. Professionals in both fields sometimes worry that the responsibilities of their respective roles are somehow contradictory or mutually exclusive.
Lorenzo Fox’s presentation seeks to strengthen the conceptual bridge between behaviour and veterinary care, and consider its powerful impact on common aspects of patient care. Curated for both behaviour and veterinary professionals, this talk challenges the idea that low-stress and cooperative care concepts “take longer”. What if they could actually make your daily procedures safer, more efficient, and more consistently successful? Lorenzo hopes you will leave with solution-seeking concepts for commonly encountered struggles, as well as a toolbox of simple and proactive strategies you can implement right away to improve patient outcomes- not just for one visit, but for the life of the animal.
Presenter Details:
Lorenzo is the Lead Trainer at Synergy Veterinary Behavior in Portland, Oregon, USA. He grew up on a petting zoo and cattle farm in Kentucky surrounded by a variety of animals- everything from camels and coatimundis, to arctic foxes and water buffalo.
After nearly a decade working in behaviour therapy and management with kids and teens in crisis, Lorenzo now works with animals. Utilising play, consent, choice, clear communication, and the building of predictable behaviour patterns, Lorenzo strives to help both humans and their animal companions thrive. Exploring a relational and ethological approach, Lorenzo specialises in resolving challenging and complex behaviour struggles- including aggressive behaviours, fear behaviours, separation-related distress, and veterinary and husbandry phobias.
With his own dogs, he enjoys sports like agility, tracking, nose-work, dock diving, hiking, climbing, and laying in the sun for hours. He also spends time improving husbandry and enrichment for his ageing cockatiel, various large snakes, and baby tarantulas.
