Description
Animal behaviour is a vital aspect of welfare, as it is directly linked to both physical and emotional well-being. Recent years have seen increased attention to behavioural modification and training methods, with the recognition that some practices can have significant welfare implications. Improper training techniques, particularly those that inhibit species-specific behaviours or use aversive tools, can cause long-term psychological and physical harm to animals.
This position paper focuses on dogs, cats, and horses as key examples, addressing the unique behavioural needs of predators and prey, and highlighting the role of veterinarians in ensuring good welfare outcomes.
