Introduction to Animal Behaviour for HE
Animal behaviour is a fascinating subject. Some of our domestic pets can exhibit behavioural issues for many reasons. They can’t communicate their feelings as effectively as humans, but by careful observation and learning how to read body language, we can begin to acknowledge when our pets are injured, feel unwell, feel threatened, or are restless.
By studying animal behaviou, you can gain a deeper understanding into the reasons why animals display certain behaviours and how you can help resolve them. This short course could even prepare you for further learning.
