Improved Compliance in the Companion Animal Exam Using Natural Horsemanship Principles_

摘要

Parelli Natural Horsemanship is a self-improvement program developed by Pat and Linda Parelli with the goal of changing the lives of horses and humans. Their concepts empower the horse owner to train and understand their own horse by teaching the ability to communicate through the universal language: body language. The result is a safer, more confident relationship. Distinctions such as prey/ predator responses to stress, approach/retreat in building confidence, and personality assessment are key toearning respect and preserving the dignity of the animal. Many of these principles have been extrapolated to other species by this author. The benefits truly enhance the veterinary experience for the patient, client, doctor, and staff. There are numerousexcellent clinicians in the Natural Horsemanship arena. The author has been a student of Pat and Linda Parelli for over 10 years. Thus, this presentation will concentrate on extrapolation of their methods to other species. Linda Parelli enthusiastically granted permission for the author to present this modification of their methods.
