Some thoughts about pet cat environmental enrinchmement.

It was mid-August 2022 in Alepochori, Greece and I was sitting relaxed on a bench by the seacoast watching the beautiful sunset. It was then, from the corner of my eye, I saw a cat passing over my bench; she was heading towards another cat who was eating food provided by a local, stray animal [...]

It was an absolute honour to participate last Tuesday as a speaker at the Power of the Human – Canine Bond event organised by the All-Party Parliamentary Dog Advisory Welfare Group, The Society for Companion Animal Studies (SCAS) and Our Special Friends. It was a privilege to be part of such a meaningful initiative.
The event begun in the afternoon at the Portcullis House, with a drop-in session, where all speakers briefed MPs on various research and practical aspects of this important subject. In the evening, we delivered our talks/presentations to the attendees in Committee Room 11 of the UK Parliament. It is always a real pleasure to meet/work with likeminded colleagues and contribute to events that promote Dog Welfare and the Human-Canine Bond.
Many thanks to Dr Marc Abraham, Dr Elizabeth Ormerod , Dr Bin Johnston and Agria Pet Insurance for organising the event!

Happy to delivering again a webinar for SCAS!
In this webinar I will briefly explain my method/approach on promoting shelter dogs welfare, optimising dog - shelter staff interaction and increasing the potential for successful adoptions. Parts of this method/approach were first presented in the 2019 annual conference of the Association of Pet Behaviour Counsellors, UK.

This webinar presents the InKennel training method and looks at dog - staff interaction in the shelter/kennel environment.
