The Animal Training and Behavior Program

The Animal Training and Behavior Program focuses on understanding and shaping animal actions using scientific methods. It combines principles from psychology, biology, and learning theory to develop humane, effective training techniques. The program aims to enhance animal well-being, improve communication between humans and animals, and address behavioral challenges. Through research, hands-on training, and studying animal behavior, students learn how to create positive reinforcement strategies that encourage good behavior, making animals happier and easier to manage in various settings like homes, zoos, and shelters.
