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, Consultant, Facilitator, and Speaker Tracey is a consultant to the Adelaide courts and works with councils and organisations across Australia on dangerous dog risks.
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.
