Dear all,
This is an announcement that this Wednesday (4pm Psych Common Room) Brian Irwin will give a presentation on: Top Tails enriches lives through expert dog training and specialised therapy programmes, promoting confidence, compassion, and trust for those facing unique challenges.
here a short abstract for the talk: Top Tails is a dedicated dog training, behaviour consultancy, and animal-assisted therapy provider based in Dunblane, Scotland. The company specialises in using scientifically backed, positive reinforcement methods to support dog owners and their pets, and it provides essential therapy services tailored for individuals with autism and those overcoming cynophobia (fear of dogs). Through compassionate, structured programmes, Top Tails fosters meaningful connections between dogs and people, improving lives and well-being on both sides of the lead.
best,
Alex
