Rabbit Behaviour Morning Workshop
July 26th 2008, Woking, Surrey
Although rabbits are the UK’s third most popular pet they are often misunderstood. This year’s Learning About Animals rabbit event will briefly discuss how understanding rabbit behaviour can help us to better understand what pet rabbits need. The focus of this workshop, however, is building the relationship between rabbits and humans and to this end we will explore how rabbits learn and how to tame skittish rabbits. Training rabbits will also be covered. More details. Cost £12 for the morning workshop.

How to take better pictures of your pets
August 30th 2008, Chertsey, Surrey
This workshop will first explain the basics of what makes a good picture, and what doesn’t, and will then cover how to go about taking photos of animals. This event will be especially useful for those working in rescue centres who would like to learn to take better pictures of the animals they are trying to re-home but will also be great for pet owners who would like to learn how to get better pictures of their pets.
Bring a camera as there will be time to practise!
This workshop will be run by Heather Locke who has extensive experience of photographing animals having worked recently for WSPA.
