Understanding Aggressive Behavior in Dogs https://calanimals.site-ym.com/events/eventdetails.aspx?id=1848067 https://calanimals.site-ym.com/events/eventdetails.aspx?id=1848067 Understanding Aggressive Behavior in Dogs

 Live Zoom Workshop July 18, 9-11am, (PDT)
2 Hour Recording will be available July 19 through October 31, 2024

With overflowing kennels and longer lengths of stay, most shelters are seeing no shortage of behavioral challenges among dogs. The most concerning, of course, is aggression, and behavior expert Kelley Bollen will lead this session to take a deep dive into why dogs exhibit aggressive behavior, the different types of aggression we see in dogs, and what situations can trigger aggressive behavior. She will discuss what we as shelter professionals can do to modify this serious and sometimes dangerous behavior and provide guidance on safe placement. With safety considerations for staff, volunteers, and the public, as well as the overall implications our choices have on our ability to maintain liability insurance as an industry, having clear guidelines and pathways for dogs exhibiting aggressive behavior is critically important.

  • 2 hours of CE for Humane Officers, CACOs, and CAWAs
  • Members: $25, Non-members: $35

Need help? Kathy@CalAnimals.org (Your USERNAME may be your work email address.)

The session recording will be available through 10/31/24.
