    Does anyone have any written training manuals you are willing to share for training staff on:

    dog meet & greets

    disease prevention

    enrichment

    behavior modification 

    Thanks,

    Hi Amber,

    The Maddie's Pet Forum resource library might have a few items that are useful (but we definitely need more, this is a great question!): 

    Not training manuals, but Maddie's Monthly Behavior Connection had a session on dog-dog meet & greets and a few on b mod: ( sharing the whole playlist

    What type of disease prevention are you looking for? UC Davis Koret Shelter Medicine Program might have what you're looking for or Maddie's Monthly Foster Connection just had a few webcasts on education about common infectious diseases and sanitation of foster homes. 

    Here's the Maddie's University behavior collection about shelter care, which includes enrichment. 

    I'm looking forward to seeing what others share!

    Hello Amber!

    We love using ASPCA's enrichment schedule for our dogs in care. It helps us plan out our week and make sure our pups are getting a mix of different enrichment activities each day.
