Wildlife Human Attack Response Training WHART

Wildlife attacks on humans are increasing. This can be attributed to a number of reasons, but when we look at the root causes it usually revolves around proximity, animal defensive behavior and habituation. We offer two different courses, a general class as well as a more agency customized course dependent on your needs. To learn more about what causes animals to attack humans and how to investigate these attacks please attend one of our courses.
