If you’re looking to bring new ideas to your organizations about dog and cat behavior then look no further than Maddie’s^® Monthly Behavior Connection. This monthly webcast is held on the fourth Thursday of the month at 12PM PT/3PM ET and is an opportunity hear from speakers about behavior medications, modifying animal behavior, assessing and improving animal well-being (welfare) and how organizations successfully provide behavior support to dogs and cats.

On July 24, join Dr. Carley Faughn for “Accomplishing the Goal of Successful Outcomes: Animal Behavior, De-escalation Techniques & What Happens When They Leave Our Care.” Dr. Faughn will focus on behavioral outcomes for cats and dogs, with an emphasis on large dogs but relevant to all animals. How do you communicate behavior challenges to potential fosters and/or adopters? How does your team discuss these challenges among themselves? How does your team work to de-escalate conversations with potential fosters/adopters as well as the community? What happens once an animal leaves your shelter that has behavior challenges? Dr. Faughn will share tips for all of these questions, with real life examples from 20+ years of experience in animal welfare. Meaningful goals are to keep pets and families safe, together and happy. In this talk, you will learn ways to accomplish increased lifesaving within your shelter and next foregoing into community homes.

Dr. Carley Faughn is the Outcomes & Behavior Manager at the Humane Society of Vero Beach & Indian River County.
