The first half will consist of a focused lecture addressing foundational behavior concepts; client communication strategies; and ways to optimize exam rooms, treatment areas, and existing facilities to support low-stress handling. Emphasis will be placed on improving patient welfare, staff safety, client trust, and overall practice efficiency and financial health. The second half will transition into hands-on training, wherein participants will practice a wide range of canine handling and restraint techniques. Skills covered will include appropriate use of equipment such as leashes, harnesses, muzzles, towels, squeeze cages, and catch poles; techniques for walking injections, oral transmucosal medication administration, and protected access using pens or panels; and guidance on managing high-risk situations, including fight break-up preparedness. The workshop will also provide resources for client education and referrals to veterinary behaviorists and behavior professionals. This session is appropriate for veterinarians, technicians, students, support staff, and trainers seeking practical, immediately applicable skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading purple-lt mb-0\">Additional Information<\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"mt-05 wp-block-paragraph\">C3 and C4 are the same lab presented at different times.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Registration Information Audiences &amp; Skill Levels Terms of Participation Cancellation &amp; Refund Policy A1 &amp; B4.
