The accommodation was not suitable as it was not showing natural behaviours and was not set up well it had random ornaments in it and the bearded dragon did not seem happy going back and forth showing stress.

For handling, I assessed the temperament of the bearded dragon. Bearded dragons are typically known for there calm and docile temperaments/behaviours. I monitored for any signs of distress such as excessive movement, head bobbing and a dark beard. Due to the bearded dragon being calm and docile, I decided to approach her with a loose grip. Her chest was supported by my hand, my fingers were in a 'V' shape on either side of her neck with her back and tail supported I then further looked and everything looked okay, no signs of stress or harm.

I used head collar to help restrain and retrieve Winnie as this will help her from stressing, I made sure to separate her from the rest and made sure weather conditions was appropriate. I made sure to wear my PPE like boots and collage uniform. *When training make sure the environment is suitable for training so the animal is safe and won't get injured, remove any hazards such as glass, sharp branches, rubbish and fix any broken fences.

# data[].attributes.body
when handling you need focus on building a positive relationship with your animal, use gentle consistent handling techniques to make them feel comfortable and secure, this could be including treats, praiseing and calm body language. for obedience you need to teach basic commands such as sit,stay and come. use positive reinforcement methods, rewarding your animal for the commands, consistenty is key so practice commands regularly. for specific objectives you need to identify clear goals first your training, for example i was training winnie thecommands regularly. for specific objectives you need to identify clear goals first your training, for example i was training winnie the goat and a specific objective could be to have her respond to the stay command 70% of the time within a month. I would break down the objective into smaller steps and track the progress to ensure i'm on the right path and i can make sure winnie isn't stressed.

unit 213-1.4- monitor the mental condition and physical behaviour of the animal throughout the training and use the results to modify the training programme.

# data[].attributes.body
It's important to monitor the animals mental and physical state during training and adjust the programme accordingly to ensure the animals well being. This incudes observing their behaviour, mood and any signs or stress or discomfort. If the animal is showing the signs then a different method needs to be used and then the new method needs to be monitored aswell to make sure it is safe and appropriate for the animal. This could involve reducing the intensity of the task, the duration, or type of training exercise or providing additional breaks. By continuously monitoring and adaptating thetraining programme, we can ensure the animals well-being is prioritised and that the training process is both effective and ethical. Winnie would not respond to the clicker so we used a different method such as hand commands and vocal commands which worked better.

# data[].attributes.body
You handle the animals gently and with care to make them feel safe and keep them from harm. You should always treat the animal with kindness and avoid harsh or forceful methods and always support all limbs. use positive reinforcement when handling the animals e.g. praising and giving treats. provide breaks in between handling to prevent stress and you should always recognise when the animal is becoming stressed. always make sure to ask a qualified trainer or veterinarian if you are unsure. I also handled winnie to move her to the correct area to train her. i used this method as it is good for her healthand welfare. This is because it doesn't injure her and we have full control over her.

1.3 - Maintain the restraint of the animal securely and safely in a manner which minimises stress.

I maintained my method of restraint by ensuring the environment was calm and quiet, this helps to minimise any potential stress to the bearded dragon. I also moved the stuff out the way and made sure my area was all clear and clean.

When I had hold of the dragon I also adapted my grip to using two hands so that the bearded dragon felt more supported/grounded this reduces the chances of her moving around and injuring herself so that she feels more safe and secure.

We restrained the bearded dragon using the burrito method, we noticed that the bearded dragon wasn't comfortable and was eager to escape so

I decided to approach the situation differently and modify the method of restraint i used. Instead of the kind of restraint method i used, I attempted the claw method and this was easily done by using my 2 fingers just above the front 2 legs and this seemed to work well and the bearded dragon settled down.

2.1 - Select appropriate equipment for this area of work.

To begin with, I used 'Safe4 disinfectant' to clean the area prior to handling and restraining the bearded dragon this is to prevent her getting ill from any germs/bacteria's that may be present and dangerous to her. I used a holding box to help move her from her enclosure to the desk to ensure she could not escape while I was transferring her. While restraining and handling the bearded dragon, I decided to use a towel to provide the bearded dragon with something to grip on to something when they are on the table so that they don't slip and injure themselves. We also used the towel as it allowed us to use a different method of restraint called the burrito method - this is when we drape the towel over the bearded dragons back, we typically use this method when an animal is more wriggly because it provides more support and can often reduce stress and anxiety in the animal which means that they relax and become less fidgety.

I used a towel to help restrain the bearded dragon and this helps and can not harm the dragon at all.

2.3 - Prepare, maintain and store equipment in a safe and effective working condition.

When handling/walking Winnie the goat, we use lead ropes. All the lead ropes have a name tag to tell me which lead rope is for which animal this helps ensure we are using the correct equipment for the animal. Prior to using them, I check for any thinning of the rope this is so I can prevent it snapping and Winnie running off/escaping. I also check for any tangles as this can put pressure on Niles neck/throat and cause him discomfort and strangulation. Once I have finished using the lead rope, I check for any damages. If there is no damage I wrap it up and hang it up in the shed where it goes.

I started by approaching the bearded dragon calm and quietly ensuring that they don't deem me as a threat. I will assess the bearded dragon behaviours and ensure I use minimal and an appropriate method of restraint. If the bearded dragon exhibits signs of stress or aggression i will stop, give them a break.

Once they have calmed down and i will attempt again, if they respond negatively I will stop and reevaluate the situation and modify if necessary.
