Symposium
move to Loughborough
THE UK Registry of Canine Behaviourists’ Symposium for
2002 will be held at Loughborough University on Saturday October
5th.
The programme this year will look at various factors which affect
behaviour. The morning lecturer is Sheila Hamilton Andrews,
MSc, SRN and Chairman of the UKRCB. Sheila will be talking about
how the thyroid gland in the dog functions and how its misfunction
manifests itself in a dog’s behaviour. The thyroid gland
has a central role in all areas of a dog’s life and undiagnosed
Hypothyroidism is often overlooked in behaviour modification.
In the afternoon, Anne Bussey, MSc., member of the UKRCB and
APBC, looks at factors which affect competition and dogs’
success. Anne’s years as a top class competitor and her
many courses make her the obvious choice for discussion of how
to get the best from dogs, be they competition or pet dogs.
Both lectures are based on the lecturers’ successful MSc.
dissertations for Southampton University.
Tickets, to include a delicious buffet lunch, are £30
