Canine Body Language in the Shelter - conference recording
Үй жануарлары мен аңдар
Have you ever wondered how dogs communicate? Are we even close to understanding them? Listen to Dr. Sara Bennett, graduate of the Purdue Shelter Veterinary Behavior Residency Program, go through an overview of canine body language and interpretation. This presentation, shared at the Purdue Veterinary Medicine 2012 Fall Conference, discusses welfare implications of different behavior states, as well as how this can affect and be affected by length of stay in a shelter and the animal shelter environment.
Dr. Bennett received her DVM degree from Purdue University in 2006. She then spent 3 years in as an associate veterinarian in small animal general practice in Evansville, Indiana. She was accepted to the animal behavior residency program sponsored by the Maddie's Fund Shelter Medicine Program at Purdue University in July 2009, and completed the program in 2012, with a Master's of Science. She obtained certification as a diplomate of the American College of Veterinary Behaviorists in 2012.
Dr. Bennett addresses a variety of behavior problems and behavioral disorders including aggression, inappropriate elimination, compulsive disorder, fears and phobias and behavior problems associated with aging across a wide range of species. She particularly enjoys addressing problem behavior in shelter animals, helping to make these pets more adoptable, strengthen the budding human-animal bond and to keep these animals in their new homes.

Great lecture! I once read a book about calming signals very similar to what you're explaining and it really changed the way I look at dogs. For instance, a dog that I often walk usually lies down on her back, licks her lips, yawns, etc. when I walk straight towards her to put the leash on her. After I read the book I recognized the signals and now I usually approach her from the side and sit down next to her for a minute instead of reaching for her immediately. Little things like this have really changed my relationship with her and other dogs.
This was great! Thank you for offering it to the public!!
Many great ideas here! I hope all shelter staff can see this! it would really help the animals in their care! Shared on my Observation Skills for Training Dogs Facebook group. Thanks!

Thank you, Johnny!
tnx 4 posting. we learned a lot. the microphone placement eliminated background noises and made this video very easy to listen to. some youtube lectures have soooo much ambient room noise it becomes difficult to hear the speaker.
I am a new shelter volunteer and this is a very helpful lecture, thank you.

Great lecture... although when you got on your soap box it was totaly biased an closed minded... other than that I really enjoyed your lecture.🤷♂️ why is it when you hear people with a certain opinion saying stuff about tools we use(when appropriate) prongs etc or training techniques(the only problem with tools is the lack of education on how to use them properly)... I really find it completely biased, some tools are necessary, tailored to the dog and its needs... its asif they don't want people to use these tool why? why not educate on how they should be used properly?.. seems to me the end goal is to justify putting animals to sleep... coz sometimes tools are needed an will save the dogs life... its like we always put people that use certain methods in categories an call them cruel or inhumane... what I think is in humane is to alow an animals behaviour to escalate untill they can't be part of your life or ultimately they get killed because of there behaviour 🤔 I keep an open mind an learn from all different styles of training. Peace out ✌ ☮ 🕊 🏳 ✌
very interesting and educational, but it's anoying that everytime I watch something on this subject the same remark comes when "dominance" comes up. Just say his name. And watching Cesar Millan, I never seen him scare or hurt a dog.
I like your talk, but not on the "other person" thing... that's kinda sour graping.

Say your cardiologist badmouths a witch doctor or snake oil salesman. Sour graping?
