Webcast Description:  

From environmental changes to grief and loss, Chancel's presentation explores how emotional readiness, health, and home setup play crucial roles in a successful transition. She'll challenge the often-cited "3-3-3 rule," examine how unresolved health conditions can mimic or worsen behavioral problems, and discuss practical tools for managing stress, building trust, and setting dogs up for success. Topics include behavior management, crate/confinement training, enrichment, multi-dog dynamics, and what to expect emotionally during the early days of fostering or adopting. 

About Chancel Siebuhr: 

Chancel Siebuhr worked in animal welfare for nearly 20 years, driven by a lifelong love for animals and a desire to help them live better lives. Her journey began with an ROP Veterinary Assistant certification class-not because she wanted to pursue the medical side of animal care, but because she wanted to understand as much as possible about the field.  

As she explored different paths, she found herself drawn to animal behavior. Chancel started as a volunteer, then became an external trainer, and eventually stepped into the role of main trainer at the Behavior Center at San Diego Humane Society. After leaving SDHS, Chancel continued with private training and supported various shelters and rescues throughout San Diego.  

For the past seven years, Chancel has been with PAWS, and for the last two years, she's served as the Animal Care and Behavior Manager. During that time, Chancel adopted a dog from PAWS-an incredibly humbling experience that brought new perspective. Even with years of experience and knowledge, Chancel faced challenges. It helped her truly understand what many adopters go through and deepened my empathy for both ends of the leash.  

Now, Chancel is passionate about helping people better understand what it's like for a dog navigating a significant life change. Her goal is to bridge that gap, offering guidance, compassion, and insight to create lasting, successful bonds between people and their animals.
