Implementation of a behavioral rehabilitation program
The SPA shelter in Morée contains about a hundred dogs, among these 100 dogs some have behavior that prevents them from being adopted and the agents have difficulty working on their rehabilitation for multiple and varied reasons. The trainees will work in pairs and will all have a dog to rehabilitate during the internship; through a good knowledge of the clicker-training technique, an ability to understand cognition in dogs and field discipline.
The idea is to find simple, effective programs that are adapted to the shelter world to avoid euthanasia and optimize adoptions. We will take the dogs that come to the internship whether it is for problems of aggression on humans, protection of resources, fear or minor but no less problematic problems such as Tug on a leash etc.
The objectives of this internship are:
Provide expertise in analyzing the problem and be able to do a good analysis to optimize the rehabilitation program.
Provide realistic feedback on the rehabilitation capacity of the dog in question.
Analyze the personality of each individual, learn how to do a field assessment, set up a rehabilitation program despite the environment and measure the dog's progress for a realistic report.
