Hi,
Introducing a shelter dog to an adopter's or foster caregiver's dog to see if they'll be a good match can be anxiety-provoking if you don't have a lot of experience.
Whether or not this sounds like you, don't miss Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection next Thursday November 21 at noon PT/3 pm ET when @Samantha Wolfman (She/her) of the Animal Welfare League of Arlington and Wolfman Dog Training and Consulting will be sharing her knowledge and experience related to maximizing success with dog-dog matchmaking. Learn more about the event.
We'll also be sharing a quick view of our new Maddie's University course (authored by Sam) about Fostering Dogs with Behavioral Concerns: Supporting Pets and People.
Register for our monthly webcast series, Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection here.
If you missed it, here's the recording from last month's presentation about play aggression in cats with Dr. Mikel Delgado.
About the November webcast:
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 will be 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 will guide you through the do's and don'ts to help you get more comfortable and have more success in dog to dog matchmaking.
