Stray Dog Welfare Course

Module 1 – Acknowledging the Problems

Social differences, attitude issues, breeding and over-breeding, tourism and travelling, human neglect and ignorance are just some of the main issues causing the world’s animal welfare problem with stray cats and dogs.

The module will cover theoretical knowledge of the issues, including factual and statistical comparison of the problems experienced on different continents. The final part of the module will include a discussion of the need for managing stray populations and how we can help improve the overall condition of such animals.

Module 2 – Stray/Feral Population Assessment

As a student, you will gain complete understanding of the welfare issues in a specific area. You will learn the ways to measure, assess and analyse the extent of the stray/feral population. You will also study the ways to address such problems without impacting the communities severely.

The age of the animals studied, estimates, materials and equipment needed for successful assessment, local human population, capture methods, and human cooperation are all included in the assessment methods you will learn during the module.

Module 3 – Choosing the Solutions

Various types of solutions are utilised in different parts of the world – euthanasia, parasite control, vaccinations, spraying, castration, neutering, re-homing, foster homes, registration and identification, educating the locals, reducing the commercial supply and reproduction.

All of these are possible solutions but needless to say, their effectiveness is varied.. The third module will help you analyse the data and ultimately select the most appropriate solution to the ongoing animal-related issues via comparison, evaluation and measurement of the costs, benefits, possible and worst-case scenarios.

Module 4 – Progress Evaluation and Assessment of Intervention Results

Monitoring the success of an intervention project is one of the most important concluding phases. Within the fourth module of the course, you will benefit from the professional experience of our tutors. Learn the best practices in progress monitoring, local community measurement, observation techniques, data collection, repeat visits and more.

The module also gives you in-depth knowledge about scientific monitoring, the importance of continuous area overseeing and adequate note taking.
