Description
Presentation Details:
A growing number of companion animals are receiving limited veterinary care due to their severe aggressive or fearful behaviours during routine or emergency medical procedures. Some animals are receiving no care at all!
Guardians are often left feeling frustrated and hopeless, while veterinary staff feel pressured to carry out procedures on animals exhibiting potentially dangerous behaviours.
This webinar provides trainers (and veterinary staff) with a customisable pathway towards achieving successful routine and emergency procedures for animals showing moderate to severe signs of distress (FAS 3-5) during veterinary scenarios. It also outlines the unique considerations that arise when working with pets suffering from veterinary phobia.
For these patients, planning and rehearsing repeatable, long-term solutions is essential. This includes combining behavioural and medical approaches that empower guardians, veterinary staff, and the animals themselves.
Presenter Bio:
Lorenzo is the Lead Trainer at Synergy Veterinary Behaviour 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 children and teenagers in crisis, Lorenzo now works with animals. By utilising play, consent, choice, clear communication, and the building of predictable behaviour patterns, Lorenzo strives to help both humans and their animal companions thrive.
Lorenzo specialises in resolving complex behaviour challenges, including aggressive behaviours, fearful behaviours, separation-related distress, and veterinary and husbandry phobias.
With his own dogs, he enjoys sports such as agility, tracking, nose work, dock diving, hiking, climbing, and spending hours lying in the sun. He also dedicates time to improving husbandry and enrichment for his ageing cockatiel, various reptiles, and baby tarantulas.
