This lecture will give you the tools you need to help the animals in your rescue or shelter integrate happily and smoothly into their new homes, especially those at-risk friends who may struggle or be a higher risk for return due to existing behavior issues or concerns. Content will include: behavior foundations; keys to understanding and explaining what is happening from the dogs perspective during each phase; initial meetings and introductions; integration with other dogs, cats or children; helping adopters truly absorb and follow behavior or management advice; preventing and reducing behavior issues during and after the dog has settled in; and tips and tricks to ensure a successful long-term placement. We will finish up with key resources, recommendations, and tips that you can give to help ease seamlessly through the transition and reduce rates of returns.
