Webinar – 11/5/22 – Play Is Magic! with Trish McMillan – Shelter Behavior Hub (fee applies)

November 5, 2022 @ 8:00 AM - 9:30 AM PDT

$45
Two dogs splash together in water

Humans can sometimes come off as untrustworthy of dogs. People may lure dogs in close with a treat and then suddenly reach toward or grab them. In shelters, people walk by, stare at the dogs, and then continue walking by. But dogs? Dogs don’t lie to their dog friends. If you’re out in the play yard and your new best dog friend tells you the humans are OK, you might just believe them. And if humans approaching the front of your kennel means you’re about to go to playgroup or on a group walk, you may start thinking humans are OK too. Learn the many ways dogs can help other dogs, in and outside of the shelter environment. In this webinar, you will learn about social learning, dog play dynamics, and how to manage playgroups in shelters.

These webinars are suitable for veterinary professionals, animal trainers, animal behaviorists, shelter and rescue staff and volunteers, and anyone with an interest in evidence-based behavior intervention.
