Dog-Dog Matchmaking: Setting Adopters and Their Dogs Up for Success

Recorded On: 11/21/2024

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

Conducting dog meets for adopters and their resident dogs can feel stressful and full of pressure. What if it doesn't go well? How can I tell if they actually like each other? What do they do when they get home?

All of these questions and more are answered during this session! From quick body language cues, to tips and tricks for integration, to having tough conversations – maybe the dog they chose isn't a good fit! – Sam guides you through the do's and don'ts to help you get more comfortable and have more success in dog to dog matchmaking.

Presenter: Samantha Wolfman of the Animal Welfare League of Arlington and Wolfman Dog Training and Consulting

This webinar has been pre-approved for 1.0 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credits by The Association for Animal Welfare Advancement and by the National Animal Care & Control Association.

Samantha Wolfman

Director of Behavior and Pathway Planning

Animal Welfare League of Arlington

Sam has loved dogs for as long as she can remember, even though she wasn’t allowed to have one growing up. As an adult, Sam got her first dog, and after discovering that her new companion was extremely reactive to other dogs, she immersed herself into the world of animal behavior…and never wanted to leave. Sam said goodbye to her career path in fashion merchandising, and began her work at the Animal Welfare League of Arlington in 2019 helping animals find new homes. Sam was so inspired by the passion and knowledge of those working with and around her, that she jumped at the chance to join the behavior team at the shelter in 2020. After working with a variety of dogs, and a variety of behaviors, Sam received her CPDT-KA in 2021 and she is constantly looking to expand her knowledge, while supporting and enriching the human-animal relationship
