Opleidingen

Omdat kennis gemakkelijk is om te dragen.

Blijven bijleren is een must, daarom volg ik regelmatig opleidingen, zit ik met mijn neus in boeken en doorspit ik wetenschappelijke studies. Daarnaast volg ik regelmatig ‘coaching’ sessies met leden van de Vereniging voor Diergedragsprofessionals. Daar bespreken we bepaalde cases, hebben het over wetenschappelijk werk en delen kennis en ervaring uit.
