Lauren Novack (MS, ACDBC, KPA): How Do We Know We're Really Practicing Better Welfare? (Part 1 of 2)
Manage episode 381346002 series 3178501
This is PART 1 of a 2-episode interview with Lauren Novack, who discusses her graduate research about the science and social validity of companion animal welfare. If animals can't talk to us, how do we really know if the treatments we employ and behavior change we strive for is actually doing good for companion animals? In Part 1, we discuss:
- "Freedom From" to "The 5 Domains"
- The challenges of objectively measuring animal welfare
- Behavioral variability
- Degrees of freedom and the enhanced choice model
- How our values affect the way we train
