Course Overview
If you live or work with animals it’s important to understand the physiological and mental consequences of stress, and how it impacts animal well-being. Recognising stress, what causes it, and how to alleviate it is the key to creating a healthy environment for our domestic animals. Through understanding evolutionary needs of a species we can minimise stress to keep it in a healthy balance.
Each lesson is approximately 4 hours study, and includes written and video components for ease of learning. There are also simple quizzes to help you integrate your learning. This online course allows you to study any time, any place. Access to each lesson opens as you complete the previous one, allowing you to set your own pace. Nayana is your personal mentor, available to answer your questions via email anytime, your learning is important to her.
