Hello!
I am attaching a couple of files and an image to this post. They are relevant to our protocols for recording behavior observations at our main shelter. The files include:
- Our SOP for writing Behavior Observations
- The form we print out to write behavior observations on
- A photo of our Canine Behavior Observations Board we use for quick, objective behavior recording
Let me know if you have any questions or if you would like me to get you in touch with our Behavior Modification Department that has slightly different protocols since they are working with our more behaviorally demanding population.

Subject: Searching for a daily observation note template that incorporates the ABCs and objectivity.
Hello all, I'm the Behavior Coordinator at the SPCA of Wake County, and I'm searching for a template to use for daily behavior memos to go into the file that would be internal and externally viewed. We're wanting to standardize objective note taking, and I want to incorporate the ABCs of training into the template. Too many times there is a memo of a weird interaction and I have to follow back with the who's, what's, and why's of the set up that led to the interaction. Does anyone have anything like this as a starting point?
