STAAR Labs are intensive, hands-on learning experiences. Labs incorporate live dogs so participants can practice techniques and immediately apply what they learn to their patients or pets.

Labs are intentionally kept small, interactive, and informal to maximize hands-on learning and instructor interaction.

LAB LEVELS

• Introductory: Designed for participants with little or no previous experience in the topic. These labs focus on essential concepts, foundational skills, and guided hands-on practice.
• Intermediate: Designed for participants with a working knowledge of the subject who are ready to build on foundational skills. Labs focus on more advanced techniques, clinical application, and practical problem-solving.
• Advanced: Designed for experienced practitioners with strong prior knowledge of the subject. These fast-paced labs focus on advanced techniques, complex clinical decision-making, and nuanced application of skills.

Lab selections are first come, first served and are confirmed once final payment is received.
