the behavioral change in utilizing pvc tubes in-kennels/kibble to combat barrier reactivity etc. and the initial part of the video is the behaviors before implementing the tubes. the second part of the video is just a minimum of two and a half days... the difference in Behavior...so in the hopes that other shelters can use this idea to help their dogs. we're all in this together. 🤗

Thought I'd share this idea...can use ice cream tops, plastic plates, etc. Freeze pb, pumpkin, plain greek yogurt etc. hang em outside your shelter/dog's personal crate for enrichment in-kennel & diversion for transports, etc. if you don't crate your dog you can suction cup/tape to the window...anyways sorry it's long but you can HEAR the difference at 1:18 (the calm) & see their smart little wheels turning! 😍

Hi all, I am a certified member through the IAABC (CSB-D) and receive emails on discussions etc. they have so that I can give input on behavioral/training questions and this link came up and thought it'd be of interest to many shelters out there! It's free and will be talking about playgroups, LIMA, and sounds like it'll have a bunch of other great information for everyone who wants to offer playgroups! Side note: I am not endorsing these people, don't know much about their program, but am just passing this opportunity that I saw in an email. Anyways...keep on keepin' on!

Hi, I've been professionally training, performing evals and behavioral mods for years (both within my own club/community/501c3 rescue, volunteering my services to other rescues, and now a Behavioral, Enrichment, & Training Manager at a Humane Society designing various protocols, mods, etc.) I've been authorized by the AKC for 13 different certis to instruct and eval classes for years. I'm certified through the IAABC with a CSBD designation. I'm also Fear Free Certified and various other certifications but I am not perfect either and if giving my advice, it is just advice and there's no guarantee it will be effective nor "law" but it HAS been effective for ME. I wanted to do something unique and try and help places who have noone connect with others who may have experience/ideas (including myself) so started this. Always remember that either volunteer OR staff should always be taught body language and handling etc. before performing any bmod on any animal as it takes years to properly learn but in the meantime....let's try and impact some animal's lives that may need an extra hand!
