Behavior Modification Plans: What works in one place may not work in another

This course is part of Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection, monthly webcasts about pet behavior - supporting pets in our community and animal shelters.

Do you adjust your training and modification plans to account for location and environmental variation? If you're interested in behavior modification plans, this free webcast is for you! Attendees will benefit from Tom Candy's extensive experience in the UK Shelter Network and learn how to evaluate challenges in difficult training environments. Tom also shows us how to create successful, adjustable behavior modification plans to maximize progress and achieve measurable success.

- Be able to identify and apply the “Three Rs”: Risk, Reduce, Resolve.
