This hybrid educational program teaches the “when” and “how” of defensive handling through a series of on-line modules focused on elevating behavioral knowledge and an in-person workshop focused on solidifying mechanical skills and working effectively as a team. By elevating behavioral knowledge, building fluency with low stress and defensive handling, and practicing communicating as a team, staff and volunteers will better recognize risky situations and respond appropriately, mitigating risk.
At the end of this rigorous multi-phase, two-year educational program, participants will be prepared to perform the key tasks of a shelter behavior professional. Consisting of approximately 200 hours of hybrid learning, participants will learn about the key aspects of:
· Training and behavior modification for multiple species.
· Creating behavior-related programs, including for multi-species enrichment.
· Incorporating behavior and training into all aspects of sheltering.
