A strong shelter enrichment program will help give your animals more freedom from discomfort, freedom to express normal behavior and freedom from fear and distress. The Association recruited subject matter experts on animal behavior to develop a best practices document on animal enrichment in shelters. This webinar is the first in a four-part series to dig into that document and answer your questions.
Participants will walk away understanding:
- What animal enrichment is and its limitations
- Why enrichment is important
- How enrichment helps increase adoptions and save lives
- The distinction between enrichment and behavior modification
The 4-part series will benefit any animal shelter professional interested in understanding how enrichment can enhance and maintain behavioral health.
Approved for 1 Certified Animal Welfare Administrator continuing education credit. (No certificate of completion offered for this recording.)
