Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection

Behavior Modification Plans: What works in one place, may not in another…

So how do you adjust your training and modification plans to account for location and environmental variation? If you’re interested in behavior modification plans, this webcast is for you! Attendees will benefit from Tom’s extensive experience in the UK Shelter Network and learn how to evaluate challenges in difficult training environments. Tom will also show us how to create successful, adjustable behavior modification plans to maximize progress and achieve measurable success.

Learning objectives:

  • Understand what is meant by Behaviour Modification Plans, and how they can be used to create H.A.P.P.I.E.R. dogs.
  • Learn how to evaluate the dog’s environment for challenging factors and understand their potential impact.
  • Be able to identify and apply the “Three Rs”: Risk, Reduce, Resolve.
  • Deep dive into the  S.M.A.R.T. system to set goals and measure progress.
  • Understand the role of the emotional state

Guest Speaker: Tom Candy, Simplifying Shelter Behavior

About Maddie’s Monthly Behavior Connection:

Join us on the fourth Thursday of every month as we talk about dog and cat behavior – supporting pets in our community and animal shelters. Each month, we hear from speakers about topics of interest to our group, such as behavior medications, modifying animal behavior, assessing and improving animal welfare, and how organizations successfully provide behavior support to dogs and cats.

Who should join: Animal welfare staff and volunteers who are interested in dog and cat behavior, and everyone who works to keep pets out of shelters and in homes.
