Enrichment for shelter Dogs
Instructor:
Mik Moeller
Shelters are such an abnormal environment for social animals like dogs - so different from living in a home. Shelter dogs are for the most part kept in solitary confinement, and are often bored and under-exercised. Without enrichment, dogs might pace, or wall-bounce, or bark incessantly, or finger-paint their kennels. Enrichment is the key to keeping them contend, so they can show their true selves to potential adopters.
$19.95 for on-demand access for one year

What Previous Students have to say…
“I am a professional animal behaviorist who works with a municipal animal control facility. I used Trish's services to help facilitate staff meetings on our behavior policy, and subsequently draft and publish our shelter's adoptability criteria. Trish's help was absolutely invaluable to us. She is incredibly knowledgeable, one of the most talented in the industry. She worked well with everyone from our experienced animal control staff to our administrators. Using her expertise and guidance, we were able to create a very sound policy, that was clearly explained and keeps the public safe, while giving animals a fair chance at adoption. I would highly recommend her to all pet parents and professionals needing help.”
