Course Summaries
WILDLIFE HANDLING & CHEMICAL IMMOBILIZATION is a three day course designed for the wildlife professional who will be drugging and handling free-ranging and captive wildlife. This is one of the most extensive chemical immobilization courses in North America and includes hand-on labs. It has been invaluable to state, federal, and tribal wildlife professionals, zoo caretakers, animal control officers, and students.
This unique field-oriented training emphasizes professional and humane animal handling and covers practical techniques to maximize field success and human & animal safety. The course focuses on the needs of professionals to understand the skills and equipment associated with wildlife capture, physical restraint, and chemical immobilization, including for urban settings. The course also covers in detail each aspect of animal handling such a radio-collaring, weighing, sample collection and patient monitoring.
DOG CHEMICAL & NON-CHEMICAL CAPTURE AND HANDLING is a three day course designed specifically for the animal control officer. In addition to thorough instruction on chemical immobilization, Dr. Johnson will enthusiastically cover a variety of approaches for physical restraint, boxtrapping, and the use of the Y pole to provide the handler with a compassionate advantage when working with aggressive dogs. $525/$550 late registration.
DOG NON-CHEMICAL CAPTURE AND HANDLING is a two day dog handling course for those who do not have a need for training in chemical capture. This is the most extensive course in handling fearful dogs. This training is essential for professionals and volunteers addressing hoarding cases, responding to disasters, handling fearful dogs in shelters, assisting with trap/neuter/release programs, and rescuing dogs in general. $360
