Farmington Continuing Education

Learn the basics about how to perform interspecies communication at an intuitive level. This skill helps you, as the pet owner, address animal issues such as behavioral and rescue pet issues, disruptions due to the death of another pet or family member, relocation, end of life issues, connecting to the animal after death, and much more! Once you understand the emotional and perceptual lens of the animal, you will better be able to address the issue in question. This course is recommended not only to private pet owners but also to professionals in the fields of animal rehab, animal rescue, vet techs, and animal trainers. The instructor will provide photos of animals to practice during class. Students may also bring in one good hard copy photo of one pet that should be a close up of that pet alone.

Learn dog massage techniques you can do at home! This fun and interactive course is taught by a certified therapist (Bancroft School of Massage Therapy) for large and small animals and will explain benefits and contraindications for a massage with techniques you can do at home. Instruction will take place through Zoom. Registrants will receive an email from Farmington Continuing Education (ferraria@fpsct.org) containing a link and instructor information before the start of the course.
