Behaviour matters but mindset matters too

In this presentation Andrew will be sharing some of the new insights now being considered in animal training and behaviour. Moving beyond the usual mechanics of behaviour change, Andrew will introduce the principle of the individuals lived emotional experience, with a strong focus on social and emotional safety. Drawing from the latest in human and animal behavioural science, Andrew will explore what motivates historically held received wisdoms and make a case for why many now need to be reappraised. Whilst Andrew works with dogs, the content of this talk will be applicable to not only horses, but the humans they share their lives with.
