Why train health and safety when handling animals?
Handling animals as part of a job adds unpredictability and increases risk:
- Bites and Scratches
- Manual Handling Injuries
- Increased Insurance Premiums
- Social Media Disasters
At AnimalWise Training, we understand these complexities and are experts in safe animal handling practices.

About Caroline
Caroline’s extensive experience as a veterinarian and having worked with both owned and stray dogs and cats at 3 of the biggest shelters in Victoria has given her a unique understanding of animal body language. She is passionate about improving the way humans read animal body language in order to increase the safety and wellbeing of both species.
In addition to training thousands of shelter employees, shelter volunteers and council-employed Animal Management Officers, she has also brought her love for training and education to the TAFE sector, delivering the Veterinary Nursing Certificate IV at Victoria University.
Always striving for continuous improvement, Caroline has collaborated with Workplace Quality and Safety managers to improve animal handling policies and procedures for the benefit of both human safety and animal wellbeing.

Testimonials
Thank you Caroline for the workshop with the vet team. Caroline is so passionate about animal behaviour and low stress handling, the workshop content is also very details and engaging, as well as practical. Everyone in the team all learnt a lot especially from the case studies and wish the workshop went on for longer! Highly recommend Caroline and her team for any small animal vet clinics wanting a practical workshop on dog/cat behaviour and confident low-stress handling!
Thanks again, Cathy
