Animal Training Toolkit

The growing emphasis on Choice, Control, and Welfare in animal care has inspired zoological professionals to enhance the management and training of animals at their facilities. However, there’s still a considerable gap in training competency and knowledge within this expanding field of animal care. This presentation with Steve Martin, President/CEO Natural Encounters Inc., will guide individuals toward achieving the most positive and productive animal training outcomes by prioritizing providing animals with choices and control, which ultimately leads to improved welfare.

The future of zoo of zoos will be shaped by animal welfare above all else. Societal, technological and scientific changes are set to drive this change at an accelerating pace, requiring zoos to embrace transparency and innovation, whilst being more openly self-critical.

De afgelopen tijd heb ik veel gedeeld over de vertaalslag van dierentraining naar persoonlijke ontwikkeling bij mensen. Als zo?logisch consultant met Coach for Animals richt ik me vooral op dierenwelzijn, gedrag en training. Zo?logische instellingen kunnen mij inhuren voor praktijkgerichte begeleiding en trainingen voor verzorgers, met als doel het welzijn van de dieren te verbeteren. Medische handelingen kunnen een enorme positieve impact hebben op het welzijn van dieren. Op aanvraag kan ik een uitgebreide lijst sturen van alle mogelijke trainingen die we aanbieden. De lijst is zo compleet mogelijk, omdat er zoveel getraind kan worden zonder dat mensen dit weten. Heb jij interesse in deze lijst? Stuur mij dan een bericht via mijn site! www.coachforanimals.com Mijn missie is om het welzijn van dieren steeds meer te verbeteren, en ik hoop dat jullie mij hierbij willen helpen. Ik kijk ernaar uit om van jullie te horen!

European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA)’s “How to develop your Animal Welfare Assessment Programme” guide is now available online! Wild Welfare is proud to have been involved in the development of this comprehensive guideline document. We would like to say a big THANK YOU to the 2024 EAZA Animal Welfare Forum workshop participants for their valuable input. We committed to using those discussions to help create this guide, and we're thrilled to see it come to fruition. Our team have also provided feedback on the document, ensuring the final version reflects the best practices for animal welfare assessments. This practical resource will assist zoological facilities through the process of developing their own animal welfare assessment programme, inline with the latest EAZA standard.
