Make your practice behaviourally aware: Hormones and pheromones

Speakers:  Caroline Warnes BVSc, MSc, MRCVS & Claire Hargrave BSc (Hons), MSc, PGCE, C Sci, C CHem, MRSC, CCAB
 
Hormones and pheromones are important in the regulation and maintenance of normal behaviour as well as physiological and emotional homeostasis, however they can also be associated with problem behaviours. Focusing mainly on the cat and dog, this seminar will investigate the roles hormones and pheromones can play in the development of both normal and abnormal behaviours, and how understanding this may enable us to modify problem behaviours more effectively. It will look at the potential behavioural consequences of the more common endocrine disorders as well as some of the ways in which sex hormones and neutering can influence behaviour. It will also look at the role of pheromones in the creation and maintenance of problem behaviours and how they can be used most effectively to modify them.
