Improve safety and reduce liability at your shelter with CARS.

 

In this on-line program, we provide in-depth support and coaching on how to use our objective risk assessment framework to make timely and humane outcomes decisions. In addition to the planned lecture content and assignments, we offer office hours sessions regularly throughout the cohort period – this is a great opportunity to bring a case to discuss and apply the CARS framework in real time.

 

CARS is an invaluable resource for leadership teams, behavior teams, operations leadership, veterinary leadership, and any other individuals involved in outcomes decisions.

 

Prerequisite: Participants must demonstrate significant knowledge of canine communication signals via a pre-assessment. We offer “refresher” courses on canine communication that you may opt to review before you complete your pre-assessment. If you do not pass your pre-assessment, we may require you to complete additional coursework before beginning the CARS course.

 

Materials: The CARS book is required for this course. A digital copy of the book will be provided to registrants. Paperback and e-book versions are available via Amazon.com.

 

Registration process: Individuals interested in joining each cohort must submit payment via the Shelter Playgroup Alliance website to begin the enrollment process.  Each cohort will be limited to 40 participants.  Participants may register at any time for the next start date.  Sessions will begin on February 1st and August 1st. Registrations received after the start date will be enrolled in the next cohort (e.g., a registration received on February 2nd will be enrolled in the following cohort starting August 1st).
