This course is part of Maddie's Monthly Foster Connection, monthly webcasts about foster care - supporting pets in our community and animal shelters.
If you'd like to earn a certificate of attendance for continuing education credit, please watch this webcast on Maddie's University: university.maddiesfund.org/products/detective-educator-mediator-a-holistic-approach-to-foster-behavior-support
Foster insights are invaluable to shelters and rescues, and no concern should ever be dismissed or taken more lightly than the foster presents it. At the same time, that initial presentation of a concern tends to only offer one perspective: the human’s. Zan Lowell's presentation walks you through example cases of their tried and true process of taking an analytical approach that simultaneously gets to the root causes of an animal’s concerning or unwanted behaviors and promotes a more nuanced understanding of those animals’ needs among fosters, all without sacrificing compassion for either.
Presenter: Zan Lowell, Dog Behavior Trainer at Austin Pets Alive!
This webinar has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association.
