  • 1.  Fear Free and Low Stress Handling for Medical Staff

    Posted 03-23-2023 12:11 PM

    Hi all,

    Has anyone's shelter medical staff completed Sophia Yin's Low Stress Handling®  Silver certification, or become Fear Fee Certified? Our staff have completed the Fear Free Shelters course (Fear Free Shelter Program | Reduce Stress in Shelter Pets) but we are looking for more veterinary specific tips. I'm curious to know how useful your shelter has found it and why you selected the program you chose. 

    These are the programs:

    Fear Free Practice Certification and https://cattledogpublishing.com/product/low-stress-handling-silver-certification-2/ 

    Thanks!

    Greetings from Texas

    I am a volunteer with Converse Animal Shelter.  I notice the Fear Free course is only for employees, is there any route for volunteers to take the course?
