NC State CVM Holds Pet Behavior Workshop

Do you have cat or a dog with a behavior problem? Could you use some advice on raising that new puppy or kitten? The College of Veterinary Medicine at North Carolina State University will conduct a workshop from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 9 to help owners who have pet behavior questions.

The workshop, ?Living in Harmony with Your Pets: Behavior Principles for Pet Owners,? focuses on the special relationship people have with their companion animals. Using case examples and videos, Drs. Barbara Sherman and Margaret Gruen will help owners see the world from their pets' perspective in order to prevent and manage common behavior problems in the home.

Five separate sessions will focus on behavior issues involving puppies, kittens, dogs, cats, and children and pets. A question and answer session will conclude the day. Registration, which is $40 paid before or on Jan. 19 and $50 after that date, includes lunch and a take-home proceedings manual.

Dr. Sherman, who directs the Animal Behavior Clinic at the College?s Veterinary Teaching Hospital, is a certified animal behaviorist and president-elect of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists.
