Saving Lives Through Integrated Medical And Behavioral Programs, Part 1
The medical department’s protocols to prevent transmissible disease and injuries may come into direct conflict with the behavior department’s protocols to socialize, exercise, and train dogs. How do you choose the best approaches to balance medical and behavioral needs? Shelter veterinarians and leading trainers/advocates of behavior programs will address this issue by providing their perspectives and case studies for merging critical medical and behavioral programs in shelters to increase their life-saving capacity.
