About this Webinar:

This 90 minute webinar (followed by 30 minute Q and A) will delve into the science of different activity types on body and brain and how this might interlink with behaviour in the dog.   There will be a look at different types of physical exercise such as anaerobic versus aerobic, as well as considering the effect of activities stimulating different senses including proprioception.   How might be get an idea of what exercise types, duration, frequency and intensity might best suit an individual?   How does the balance of physical activity versus rest and sleep likely affect the behaviour of the dog?

Dr Amber Batson

Amber Batson graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1999 and has worked in clinical vet practice ever since. Right from the beginning of her vet career she realized the intrinsic links between health / disease and dog behavior and how so much of her interactions with dogs required understanding of dog communication and both physical and emotional needs. Amber undertook several years of part time behavior education alongside her veterinary work and then in 2007 set up her own business, Understand Animals with the aim to bridge the gap between emerging behavioural science and its practical application to help people and the dogs they lived or worked alongside, have the best relationships. Today, Amber offers both in person and on line education on many aspects of animal behavior and welfare regularly offering presentations to a global audience. She continues to work part time in the vet clinic where she tries hard to promote the concept of compassionate handling as well as offering vet behavior consultations and working with welfare cases as a legal expert witness.
