Reactivity. What does it mean? Barking and lunging on leash? Emotional oversensitivity? Something else? What do clients think “reactivity” means? This webinar will take a deep dive into the literature on reactivity: what it means, how it’s currently used and how we might want to use it (or not) moving forward. Get ready for some thought-provoking new information and follow-up discussion!

STRESS, HEALTH AND BEHAVIOR: Why Physical Health and Behavior are Inextricably Linked

Available for members of Fear Free

In many cases, focusing exclusively on physical health or on behavior limits our ability to foster overall well-being and achieve successful outcomes for animals. The goal of this course is to help you better understand these connections so that you can best serve animals and their people—whether you work in a veterinary or training environment.

In this course, we will discuss the intersections among physical health and behavior, the impacts of stress, and the connection among immune function, the microbiome, pain, and behavior.

This course was written by myself, Kristina Spaulding, PhD, CAAB and Amy Learn, VMD, DACVB, IAABC-CABC and is approved for ONE hour of RACE CE.

 You can find more information here on the Fear Free website.
