Donkey Behaviour and Etology Course

This two- day course combines the latest knowledge about caring for donkeys with practical hands on experience of 48 years of the Donkey Sanctuary. Understanding how donkeys relate to their environment and communicate is critical to training and management. We will start this course by examining the basic equine senses and communication. We will also focus on self-knowledge and personal development and how it has influence in our relationship with equines when we interact with them. Then we will discuss normal and abnormal behaviors and the basic psychology used in training. We will finish the course discussing the basic gaits and how these animals move.

The course will cover: Etology, handling, overcoming traumas or abnormal behaviors.

The course will be presential in our Sanctuary at Fuente de Piedra (Málaga) and participants will get a certificate after completion.
