CORE Hybrid Educational Program (on-line and in-person)
This program is for shelters or rescues who would like to implement our guidelines, with additional content on canine and feline body language and considerations for implementing a multi-pronged enrichment program that can improve welfare for all animals in your care. CORE Hybrid combines a five-month series of on-line educational modules with a three-day on-site workshop to cement your team’s skillset.
We recommend that shelters consider this program for at least 30-50 participants (staff and volunteers). Multiple shelters can pool resources and co-host this workshop, as well! The all-in investment for this multi-faceted hybrid program is $12,500 ($300 per individual participant with a full 50-person cohort!).
Learn to manage ethical positive reinforcement-based playgroups as part of a multi-pronged enrichment program via our five-month series of on-line educational modules. The CORE on-line program is offered twice per year and has limited seats available for shelter and rescue staff and volunteers.
This program is free for individuals who work or volunteer in shelters or rescues; application required.
The ability to assess the risk to the community is an essential skill for shelter behavior professionals. Effectively use the CARS tool with this on-line educational program.
$250 with discounts available for groups taking the course as a team. In-person support for graduates of the program is available; contact mara (at) shelterdogplay (dot) org for more information.
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.
