About

Learn the psychology behind animal behaviour. This Animal Behaviour course from Warnborough College provides an excellent foundation for working with animals in any situation: farms, zoos, veterinary practices, pet shops or even in the wild.

Overview

We assume all animal behaviour is an adaptation for survival, but this isn’t always the case. Animals can behave self-destructively, out of habit, or out of boredom, or for other reasons: just as humans can.

Aims of the Animal Behaviour course from Warnborough College

  • Identify factors affecting animal behaviour.
  • Describe the influence of genes on animal behaviour.
  • Explain how animals perceive and how they respond to various stimuli.
  • Explain the influence of environment factors, such as circadian rhythms, on biological clocks, reproductive cycles, orientation and other animal behaviours.
  • Explain the social influences on animal aggression, play, sexual behaviour, communication and other behaviours.
  • Describe different ways that animals learn (such as conditioning and habituation) and some effects of learning on behaviour.
  • Discuss psychological implications of different handling techniques.
  • Identify abnormal animal behaviour (eg. psychotic, neurotic behaviour) and  ways to  reduce dependence on humans.
