Don't Wait Until It's Too Late
Animal Management Training Australia is the leading provider of early intervention animal behaviour training for Vet Clinics, Rangers, Animal Management Officers, Shelter teams, and other professionals handling animals as part of their job.
Formerly part of the Dog Bite Prevention Project, our courses are specifically designed to teach participants how to assess, recognise, and use fundamental and complex animal behaviour and body language to reduce risk, de-escalate, and keep themselves safe around high risk animals.
Don't Wait Until It's Reached Crisis Point
Animal Management Training Australia delivers early intervention and risk reduction training specifically designed to meet the needs of professionals regularly handling and working with high risk animals, including Animal Management Officers, Rangers, Local Laws and Shelter teams, vet clinics, dog walkers, and groomers.
Reduce Risk Increase awareness Gain Confidence
We use our extensive experience and the latest research in animal body language and behaviour to help you reduce the risk of bites and attacks while approaching, working with, or handling animals.
Our engaging, and interactive online and in person workshops have been created to keep YOU safe before animals reach crisis point. Our fundamental training includes the following:
Behaviour + Body Language
Using an animal's body language and behaviour is fundamental to making good management and handling choices. We teach you how to use both common and complex dog and cat body language to:
Assess risk
Understand fear, anxiety, and stress
Recognise behavioural characteristics of high risk dogs and cats
Predict and/or reduce aggression
Prevent potential bites and attacks
Clearly communicate with owners
Safe Capture + Handling
Designed for both new and experienced animal management officers, rangers, shelter staff, veterinary professionals and others handling high risk dogs and cats this module will teach you how to:
Safely approach and control dogs and cats
Use of restraint equipment
Safe handling
Loading and unloading animals
Management of animals in your care
Appropriate PPE and toolbox inclusions
Mental Health + Training
In response to increasing reports of mental health and training problems in domestic animals we now include a comprehensive module focusing on common mental health and training problems impacting animal management professionals, including:
Understanding the difference between training problems and mental health disorders
Serial barkers, biters, and escapees
Communicating concerns with animal caretakers including owners and shelter teams
Evidence Based Training
We're passionate about providing animal management professionals with evidence based training that delivers the latest information, tools and knowledge around animal behaviour and fear free handling.
Animal Management Training Australia workshops are designed and faciilited by one of Australia's leading Behaviour Veterinarians and Founder of the Dog Bite Prevention Project Dr Tracey Henderson.
With more than two decades of experience as a qualified Behaviour Veterinarian, general practice vet, and consultant to the Adelaide courts, Tracey is an engaging, passionate, and sought after facilitator, and keynote speaker and works with councils and organisations across Australia with a special interest in the behaviour of high risk animals.

In line with our Fear Free Certification our workshops do NOT include the use of live animals. We use detailed video footage recorded in our behaviour clinic, at partnering council facilities, and content submitted by experienced field officers to best capture subtle changes in body language and behaviour that are fundamental to risk assessment and early intervention.
We acknowledge that we work and live on the traditional lands of the Kaurna and Ngarrindjeri people and recognise their deep and sacred connection with land, water, and animals.
