Assessing and Modifying Dog Behavior in the Shelter Setting

This Event Has Reached Capacity

Due to popular demand, we’ve opened up a second session on Nov. 1- Click here for more info.

In this workshop we will explore common concerns, and share simple ways to change dog behavior. We will explain how using an assessment as a tool is preferable to older pass/fail models, and how to use those assessments to build a behavior plan. There will be discussion about which behavior problems are the toughest to modify, and how some dogs that seem the most difficult may not be so difficult after all.

Note: This course has been pre-approved for Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits and 6 CEUs by both IAABC and CCPDT.
