Pat Cutler will facilitate a discussion on agency.
Agency is the capacity of animals to engage in voluntary, self-generated, and goal-directed behavior that they are motivated to perform.
(Wemelsfelder F; Špinka M, Wemelsfelder F.)
In this Roundtable discussion we can consider the meaning of agency, its impact on companion animals and how we might encourage agency in those we interact with.
About Roundtables
The Roundtables are for Professional Members of PACTA BC to discuss topics, ask questions and share experiences. They are a safe, supportive, and fun space, held on the 28th of each month. They are never recorded.
Our Roundtable discussions are designed to support all Professional Members, from those who have worked or volunteered with companion animals for years, to those just starting out. As long as your Professional Member application has been received, you are welcome to attend the Roundtable. PACTA's Board of Directors are also invited.
