Royal Canin is hosting its first webinar for Vet Nurses as part of an on-going educational initiative to provide specialist support to UK veterinary practices. Tackling the topic of positive reward-based training at puppy parties, the exclusive webinar will take place at 8.00pm on Tuesday 22 May. The one hour Puppy Training Webinar will provide Vet Nurses with an insight into techniques they can put to the test during their practices’ Puppy Parties. Presented by Gwen Bailey, leading animal behaviourist, and Royal Canin’s Practice Support Manager, Clare Hemmings VN, the webinar will advise nurses on how to weave the subject of training into a party environment with the aim of preventing behavioural problems among puppies and encouraging friendly, well-behaved dogs for the future. Clare explained: “Puppy parties are a fantastic way to introduce new puppy owners to a wide range of subjects from nutrition to worming, but talking about training during these parties can be a difficult task! Often Vet Nurses will have read books on training or applied techniques with their own pets but may find summarising their findings to clients more of a challenge. “In this webinar, Gwen and I will be advising Vet Nurses on how to approach the topic of positive reward based training at puppy parties; helping to demonstrate the wealth of advice and support within the practice and in turn, boosting their client’s confidence in their Vet Nurse.” Interested practices can register for the webinar by visiting www.royalcanin.co.uk/puppywebinar and can claim their free CPD worth £40 per individual, courtesy of Royal Canin. Vet Nurses are advised to act quickly as spaces are limited. Presenter Gwen Baily has a degree in Zoology and was the first person to be appointed by a national animal welfare charity as a full-time Animal Behaviourist, eventually heading up a team of behaviourists. During this time she pioneered the use of dog behaviour knowledge in the rehoming of unwanted animals. Gwen lectures at national and international conferences and runs training courses for staff at animal charities around the world.
