Day seminar with Angelika Lanzerath and Dr. Udo Ganslosser

Anxiety and fear in dogs

The terms anxiety, fear, trauma and phobia have been clearly distinguished not only in the behavioral sciences but also in philosophy for many years. It is all the more regrettable that the distinction is often missing, especially when dealing with relevant dogs.

Precisely because anxiety and fear or their exaggerated/generalized forms of panic and phobia have to be treated very differently, the distinction between the basic phenomena is not just quibbling. And some of what is practiced is simply contrary to animal welfare (keyword sensory overload, for example)

In the tried and tested combination of scientific and practical perspectives, we will present these topics as a duet.

The speakers:  Dr. Udo Gansloßer,  Priv.Doz. for Zoology at the Zool Institute and Museum of the Univ. Greifswald and lecturer at the Phylogenetic Museum and at the Institute for Special Zoology at the University of Jena, regularly conducts courses in behavioral and zoological biology and is known for his extremely competent and entertaining lectures.
