This presentation is part of Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection - monthly webcasts about dog and cat behavior - supporting pets in our community and animal shelters.
Dog training is always a highly valued resource at a shelter or rescue. However, when we look at the realities of dog training and the behavioral effects of the shelter environment, we find that training in a shelter can be difficult to justify. So what do we do about the behavior-related barriers to placing dogs out into homes? This presentation will explore that topic, and offer concrete solutions for some of our toughest behavior challenges.
Presenter: Devan Amundsen, CPDT-KA, CBCC-KA, Animal Welfare United
