BEAR Fundamentals (on-line): The second phase of the BEAR program explores the differences between evaluations and assessments, types of evaluations, risk assessment, gathering and documenting objective behavioral information, identifying manageable behavioral concerns, prioritizing interventions to focus on behaviors that may limit opportunities for placement, and engaging with community members in a variety of situations.
 
Enrollment in BEAR Fundamentals is contingent upon successful completion of BEAR Necessities, or equivalent. Contact mara (at) shelterdogplay (dot) org to determine whether your prior education experience may qualify. ($300/person)
