Whether you supervise a dog day care or playgroup, take your dog to a dog-park, or simply have a multi-dog family, you will have to manage groups of unrestrained dogs. These situations in which dogs are off-leash and free to interact can be potentially volatile. Dogs can be physically hurt and they can also experience emotional trauma from threats or bullying. You need to be able to recognize warning signs, intervene when necessary without making the situation more risky, and have a plan to facilitate friendships between dogs. The presenter will review some skills, protocols and behavioral knowledge that will help you keep dogs and handlers safe while promoting constructive canine socialization and fun. Webinar Objectives Identify common but unwise advice for managing groups of dogs. Define the role and the associated behaviors most important for people who supervise groups of dogs. List minimum requirements for dogs’ physical and mental health in daycare settings. Understand general safety guidelines for off-leash interactions between “normal” dogs.
