Webinar – 2/24/22 – Learn How Shelters/Rescues Can Use Empathy To Improve The Emotional States of Dogs – Virox and Shelters United

February 24, 2022 @ 11:00 AM PST

Free

With protocols from recent research on empathy, shelters/rescues can keep pets happy, make them more adoptable, and with a greater chance of achieving a forever home that’s happy as well as healthy.

In this webinar, you will learn:

Information about a new science that shows dogs and humans respond the same physiologically to a human infant crying and why it’s critically important to the interaction between dogs and people (staff, volunteers, and adopters).
How understanding and harnessing empathy can make dogs more adoptable and increase their chances of finding a forever home.
How you can dramatically reduce dog bites both in the shelter and at home by learning to communicate via emotional cues.
