Camp Maddie is back! Join us on Wednesday, March 20, 2024 and Wednesday, April 3, 2024 from 9AM-1PM PT (12PM-4PM ET) for a focus on dog behavior. The free, virtual event will consist of two half-days that will include presentations, short videos and question and answer sessions. At Camp Maddie: Behavior Edition, we’ll talk about determining which dogs are safe to rehome, keeping dogs happy and healthy while in your care, and finding them homes.

Hear from a lineup of knowledgeable speakers including:

• Dr. Chris Pachel – Risk Assessment of Dogs with a History of Aggressive Behavior
• Dr. Wailani Sung – Meeting the Needs of the Behaviorally Challenged Dogs in the Shelter
• Mike Shikashio – Bark to Basics: Avoiding and Addressing Problem Behaviors through Meeting Their Fundamental Needs
• Bobbie Bhambree & Ferdi Yau – Resilience Conditioning for Shelter Dogs: Building Bounce Back for Life in the Real World

This event is perfect for those involved in animal shelters and foster-based organizations, dog trainers, behaviorists, foster caregivers, and veterinarians. At the end of each event, you’ll have the opportunity to apply for a series of follow-up workshops, diving deeper into some of the presentation topics with our esteemed speakers.
