ANZ 321 Citizen Canine
Continuing where Familiar Canine left off, students will apply their knowledge of topics such as husbandry, learning and cognition, and culture to the dogs in their community. During this course students have both the opportunity and responsibility of caring for and training a shelter dog. Basic dog obedience and responsible dog ownership will be a major focus of the course. Students will also learn the application of learning theory and applied behavior analysis, as well as the human-animal conflicts that cause dogs to be relinquished to shelters. Working with assigned dogs is required and assessments are made during the course of students' skill and knowledge regarding dog care, handling, training, and problem solving. Fostering a dog is optional (see ANZ 321L). This course includes both written and oral evaluation techniques.
