The next behavior job-alike meeting will be on Feb. 29 at 9 am PT/noon ET where Dr. E'Lise Christiansen will be talking about long term behavior medication - medications like fluoxetine and clomipramine.

Do you work with shelter dogs who struggle with behavioral issues such as anxiety, aggression, or fear? Do you want to learn more about how behavior medications can help improve their welfare and outcomes? If so, you won’t want to miss this webinar!

Join us for an informative and interactive session covering:

  • What are the indications and contraindications for maintenance behavior medications, and how to identify the dogs who can benefit from them
  • What are the types of maintenance behavior medications
  • How to choose the right behavior medication for each dog, based on their diagnosis, history, and individual needs within a sheltering environment
  • How to prescribe, administer, monitor, and adjust behavior medications for optimal results and minimal side effects
  • How to communicate and educate the owners or adopters of shelter dogs on behavior medications, and what to expect during and after the treatment

This webinar is designed for veterinarians, trainers, and shelter staff who want to enhance their knowledge of behavior medications for shelter dogs. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions and share your experiences!

Speaker: Dr. E’Lise Christiansen, Chief Medical Officer at Behavior Vets. https://behaviorvetsnyc.com/our-team/dr-elise-christensen/
