Overview
This course has been designed for animal professionals who are working with clients, owners, keepers, and carers. That’s because in our line of work, we must work collaboratively with our clients, carers, and colleagues to maximise the chances for success for the animal we are working with.
Human behaviour change refers to the process of modifying or altering certain behaviours or actions in individuals or groups. By understanding what is human behaviour change and how to achieve this, you can be more successful as practitioners in helping your human clients understand differing perspectives (including their animals), embrace new ideas, such as different handling methods or ways of thinking about their situation, which in turn helps improve the outcomes for their animal[s]. The number of hours required for study in this course is 15 hours to work through the eight modules.
Course Highlights:
- Understand Human Behaviour Change: Learn the key principles of human behaviour change and how to apply them in your work to achieve better results for both animals and their guardians
- Improve Client Communication: Develop the ability to help your clients understand differing perspectives, including those of their animals, and embrace new approaches, such as alternative handling methods or new ways of thinking
- Maximise Success in Your Practice: Gain the skills to work more collaboratively with clients and colleagues, improving compliance and enhancing outcomes for the animals you work with
Learning outcomes:
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
- Understand key theories of psychology and how these apply within their role as an animal professional.
- Understand factors that may affect the human-human relationship.
- Understand and apply appropriate practical consulting skills needed in complex client-consultant situations.
