Expert Interview - Amber Batson - Neutering

Amber Batson graduated from the Royal Veterinary College, London in 1999 and has worked in clinical vet practice ever since. Right from the beginning of her vet career she realized the intrinsic links between health / disease and dog behavior and how so much of her interactions with dogs required understanding of dog communication and both physical and emotional needs. Amber undertook several years of part time behavior education alongside her veterinary work and then in 2007 set up her own business, Understand Animals with the aim to bridge the gap between emerging behavioural science and its practical application to help people and the dogs they lived or worked alongside, have the best relationships. Today, Amber offers both in person and on line education on many aspects of animal behaviour and welfare regularly offering presentations to a global audience. She continues to work part time in the vet clinic where she tries hard to promote the concept of compassionate handling as well as offering vet behaviour consultations and working with welfare cases as a legal expert witness.
