    Not being able to go in with an animal means that I can't have any interaction with it at all.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    There are many ways to provide enrichment to animals, even when you can't go into the enclosure. Treats, hotdogs, frozen treats on hot days, changing up the supplemental meat (fish instead of beef), locking them down and hiding food or scents or toys, changing objects out in the enclosure, or scents (perfume, cologne, animal) on fencing or object put into the enclosure. Make them look forward to seeing you to see what you'll bring them or do next.

    As long as a Level 4 person is walking a Level 4 animal, anyone of any level can be the "extra" person.

    • True

    • False

    Correct Answer
    A. False
    Explanation
    The extra person needs to be a Level 4 volunteer so that they can step in and assist in the event of an escalation from the Level 4 animal being walked.

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    If a Level 4 animal escalates its behavior during a walk, an appropriate manner of dealing with this would be which of the following? (Choose the best answer.)

    • "Cross Tie" the animal by giving one of the leashes to the extra person.

    • Drop the leash and let the animal calm down.

    • Attempt to regain control by grabbing the collar of the animal.

    • Have as many people rush in to assist as possible and overpower the animal.

    Correct Answer
    A. "Cross Tie" the animal by giving one of the leashes to the extra person.
    Explanation
    The situation will determine the response but dropping the leash is never an option. Grabbing the collar would put you at more risk and only escalate the animals aggression. A lot of people rushing in will confuse the situation and only serve to rile the animal up more. The best response is to toss the 2nd leash to the extra person and cross tie the animal until it calms down or you can get it safely back into its enclosure.
